“We have been using the Anderson Woods as a field teaching laboratory for over 10 years, taking advantage of the permanent plots laid out by Professor Norm Christensen. By resurveying these plots, students have a unparalleled opportunity to explore questions about how the diversity, composition, and biomass of the trees are affected by environmental factors and have changed over the past 30 years.” – Dr. Justin Wright
