This field season we had the great fortune of having two accomplished professional arborists, James Luce and Tyler Zuniga, help with canopy sampling and limb removal for a project to quantify the biomass and diversity of epiphytes along an elevation gradient. This project is being led by Autumn Amici (PhD student of Nalini Nadkarni, University of Utah). In addition to this work, Cameron Williams (post-doc, Franklin and Marshall College) is leading a project to measure the functional traits of epiphytes along a gradient in microclimate with the help of our local field assistant Keylor Muñoz and F&M students Laura Green and Briana Ferguson. Rikke Naesborg (Research Associate, Franklin and Marshall College) is also helping on the project with the identification of our study species.
