FRAME: Forest Fragments in Managed Ecosystems

The FRAME Program: Temperate Deciduous Forests in the Anthropocene

As of 2020, there are 50 FRAME sites in PA, DE, and NC.  Our current work includes experimental and observational studies of soil and key species to understand interactions between plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. Other research is focused on monitoring, manipulations aimed directly at site improvement, and technology transfer for better management of urban forest fragments. Some results so far, here.
