Congratulations to Cedar Creek ESR Dr. Forest Isbell on his CAREER award from NSF! His work will investigate the relationship between biodiversity and productivity from the local community level all the way to the level of landscapes. nsf.gov/awardsearch/sh…

Eastern pasqueflower (Pulsatilla patens) putting on a display this weekend. One of the first prairie plants to poke its head out after the snow melts. #Ranunculaceae

Bison are again making their return to Anoka County this summer, thanks to Cedar Creek ESR. Now, can they become the burly heroes of an ecosystem in peril? strib.mn/2VtKxNn

The bison make their return to Cedar Creek ESR tomorrow! Excited to have them roaming the savannas again this summer. Photos from the roundup last fall.

Beautiful day for bison Cedar Creek ESR. The bison are part of a multi-year study about the impact of the large herbivores on oak savanna. You can hear about the project and see the bison July 9 at Lunch With a Scientist w/Chad Zirbel. cedarcreek.umn.edu/conservation/b…

Looks who's back Cedar Creek ESR?

I'm talking tomorrow morning about bison grazing🐂, fire🔥, and productivity🌾 in oak savanna. 9:50 am in L007/008. At the very least there will be cool pictures of bison. #ESA2019

Thanks Marsh Maiden for live tweeting! #ESA2019

I had the privilege of working with Jim for a summer Chicago Botanic Garden. Seeing his passion for restoring McDonald Woods is one of the reasons I chose to study restoration in grad school. Jim is an incredible human and naturalist.

New paper online Ecology with @lars_brudvig showing how trait-environment interactions determine seedling establishment during prairie restoration. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Our research on bison grazing, fire, and oak savannas Cedar Creek ESR was recently featured on Prairie Sportsman and aired on PBS. You can watch the clip here: video.pioneer.org/video/bison-sa… UMN CBS U of M Research MN ENRTF US LTER

New paper led by Laura Ladwig with Quinn Sorenson and @edamschen. Taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional comparisons between restoration seed mixes and historic plant communities in Midwestern oak savannas. authors.elsevier.com/c/1av15_8cEVRf…

Our new paper on Midwestern oak savanna seed mixes is out! Led by Laura Ladwig with Chad Zirbel and @edamschen! Commercially available seed mixes have lots of different species than historical savannas but are functionally pretty similar. authors.elsevier.com/a/1av15_8cEVRf…
