ForestGEO is pleased to welcome the Ailaoshan Forest Dynamics Plot to the network! Ailaoshan is a 20-ha, mid-mountain, moist, evergreen, broad-leaved forest plot in the Yunnan Province of China.
In this latest installment of ForestGEO’s Spotlight Series, we learn about Iveren’s career path, her commitment to community-inclusive forest ecology, the unique composition of the Ngel Nyaki research plot.
During his time here, Duncan Kimuyu has refined ideas and analysis into a manuscript draft on browsing patterns of elephants and giraffes and the subsequent impacts on Acacia mellifera.
Fifty-three forest ecologists from 23 countries and 19 plots convened for ForestGEO’s 2019 annual analytical workshop at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore this summer.
Dr. Kristina Anderson-Teixeira has recently been named a recipient of the 2019 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest recognition that the U.S. government bestows upon early-career researchers.

ForestGEO is pleased to announce a new program coordinator for the Asian School of the Environment, Nanyang Technological University (ASE-NTU) located in Singapore.
We recently completed the first Smithsonian-NTU workshop on nutrient limitation and fertilizer experiments. We were honored by the participation of all the partners we invited, and successfully concluded the workshop with field trips to Bukit Timah and MacRitchie Reservoir.
We are pleased to
welcome a new postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Norbert (Nobby) Kunert, who will be
working on a new ForestGEO project at Smithsonian Conservation Biology
Institute (SCBI)!
Every year, ForestGEO awards a small number of students and early career scientists grant funding to conduct research at forest dynamics sites in the network. Since 2002, CTFS-ForestGE0 has awarded a total of over $1 million to 166 individuals.
Forest Global Earth
Observatory (ForestGEO) wrapped up its seventh annual data analysis workshop in
July. Thank you to all 64 participants from 19 countries around the network;
