Undergraduates collaborate in global study of Land-use Influences on Leaf Litter Decomposition = LandComp Project. Undergraduate student at our agricultural field site. 
Research team making measurements at Mount St. Helens. We are studying the natural succession of 4 replicate streams on the Pumice Plain following the 1980 eruption of the volcano.
We are excitedly looking over data from the day’s work. Getting started on a manuscript around the campfire – is there a better way to spend the evening?!
Article on microbial community dynamics published in OIKOS. Intaglio print of maple leaf with Rhytisma infection – with Evergreen art/science course.
Large experiment manipulating leaf litter genetics and salmon carcass presence. Evergreen students from “Environmental Analysis” 2008-2009. Article published in Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. Another on species diversity and carcasses
Fungal endophytes significantly influence in-stream decomposition dynamics. Article on decomposition published in Freshwater Biology.
