My master's research from @bio_uncg has been published! We described factors influencing understory dynamics in beautiful longleaf pine savannas across NC and found that restoration targets are complex and intertwined, posing a challenge for restoration @SallyKoerner @UNCG_CAS.
Congratulations to our graduate fellow @Alyssa_Young3 for publishing her work on understory dynamics in North Carolina longleaf pine savannas! You can check out her work here:
