2660 Fawn Lake Dr NEEast Bethel, MN 55005
Join life-long learners virtually for a monthly lunch and learn series at Cedar Creek. Bring your lunch and hunger for knowledge, we will provide the brain food! Global change is shifting disturbance regimes that may rapidly change ecosystems, sometimes causing ecosystems to shift between states. Interactions between disturbances such as fire and disease could have especially severe effects, but experimental tests of multi-decadal changes in disturbance regimes are rare. This month, Dr. Adam Pellegrini joins us from Cambridge, England to discuss ecosystem resilience, shifting biome boundaries, and the interplay between fire and oak wilt in a long-term experiment in Cedar Creek's oak savannas.
