Arthropods Associated with American Beech Project Summary:
The Tree Team project is designed to find if relationships exist between arthropods and high elevation clonal American Beech trees, Fagus grandifolia. A series of active and passive collection techniques are being used to capture arthropods within the declining American Beech stands and the healthier control sites. These sites will be compared to gather information useful for the Park's management of these unique, yet problematic areas of forest community. If all continues to go well, the project could expand to other trees that are of conservation concern within the park.
