About ecoStudies.org

At the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, our staff is focused on understanding how ecosystems work. Special attention is given to resources that humans depend on, with the goal of using science to guide management and policy. Research expertise includes forest health, freshwater ecology, invasive species, environmental chemistry, and disease ecology. Work led by Cary Institute ecologist Dr. Gene. E. Likens resulted in the discovery of acid rain in the northeastern United States.
