Abstract
The effects of emerald ash borer (EAB) (Agrilus planipennis) on forest ecosystems are being studied through a collaborative research program between the U.S. Forest Service and The Ohio State University. We are monitoring ash demographics, understory light availability, EAB population dynamics, native and non-native plants, and effects of ash mortality on other organisms and ecosystem processes in monitoring plots in forests in Ohio and Michigan.Parent Publication
