Eastern spruce dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobrium pusillum) (ESDM) is a native dwarf mistletoe in Minnesota. It is a parasitic plant that damages black spruce (Picea mariana) through branch distortions known as witches' brooms, and leads to increased mortality and reduction in regeneration success. Treatments for ESDM involve removal of infested trees, which is typically done utilizing a clearcut. While ESDM has been managed for decades in black spruce stands in Minnesota, little is known about the effectiveness of the management approaches. This research is part of an interdisciplinary study...

Nearctic-Neotropical migratory birds are considered priority species for conservation because they are subject to threats at distinct breeding, migratory and stopover locations throughout their annual cycle, and many species have undergone severe population declines. Research during the non-breeding season has focused on identifying the locations and habitats that migrants use, but wintering migrants are known to occupy habitats of both high and low quality, especially when the best sites are saturated by conspecifics. Thus, the presence or abundance of a species may not be a reliable...

As the world contends with the far-ranging impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing environmental crises have, to some extent, been neglected during the pandemic. One reason behind this shift in priorities is the scarcity mindset triggered by the pandemic. Scarcity is the feeling of having less than what is necessary, and it causes people to prioritize immediate short-term needs over long-term ones. Scarcity experienced in the pandemic can reduce the willingness to engage in pro-environmental behavior, leading to environmental degradation that increases the chance of future pandemics. To...

Floodplain forests provide valuable ecosystem services, yet human activity has degraded many of these riverine systems. Previous investigations of floodplain forest composition have frequently focused on flooding without incorporating successional dynamics; however, their restoration requires understanding both. We investigated floodplain forest composition along both flooding and succession gradients. River meandering builds new floodplain land with a variable microtopography and diverse levels of flood exposure. We compared vegetation to floodplain land ages on chronological sequences....
