Take a look at some more photos of the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in this presentation by photographer and International Cooperation program manager Gerald (Jerry) Bauer: research.fs.usda.gov/.../nak…
7 years ago today, Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico and severely impacted the island’s landscapes, including the Luquillo Experimental Forest. But the tropical forest is resilient to hurricanes, and it naturally recovered over time.

We are so excited to be hosting another amazing group of interns and graduate students this year! Stay tuned for intros of everyone and their research.
It’s a PVC shopping spree! 🛒 Here at TRACE we use PVC for everything. The possibilities are endless!
IITF technicians Humberto Robles and Carlos Torrens cut these in half lengthwise. Want to guess what we used them for?🤨 Stay tuned to see what we did with all of it!

During 4 months, intern Ari E. Puentes, documented the #biodiversity at the Sabana Field Research Station. From Anoles, to #Insects, #Fungi, and much more. All together he saw about 111 species!!
#ElYunque
We attended a workshop on sap flow sensors & stem and leaf psychrometers from @ICT_Int_AU
The @LUQLTER TEE has been instrumenting the plots with sap flow sensors in the main stem and roots to understand how #drought will affect water movement and quantity in trees.🌳
#research
TRACE goes to the @LUQLTER Annual Meeting👩🏻🏫
This event is a great opportunity to learn about new #research, make new collaborations, and reunite with TRACE alumni. We gave 8 talks, with a mix of independent research, #data exploration, new project proposals, etc.

TRACE bids goodbye to our resident fun-guy! 🍄👋
We want to devote this #fungifriday to our intern, Ari Puentes. In 4 months he helped with TRACE tasks & completed an independent project on movement and connectivity of fungal mats! He was also responsible for fungi posts! (1/2)
