  1. Annika is studying how warmer temperatures and drier soils alter interactions between insects and two flowering plants––goldenrods & asters. She exposes her plots to different temps and soil moisture conditions, and records plant growth, pollination rates, and insect presence.

  11. Happy 175th birthday, ! SERC was born in 1965, after an eccentric millionaire willed his dairy farm to the Smithsonian. Our "baby" pic shows the abandoned farm buildings that would become our first labs. Not enough to scare away field ecologists!

  19. The underground root systems of marsh plants are incredibly sensitive to sea level rise, making it difficult for scientists to collect precise measurements. This summer, Minjee hopes to uncover solutions for increasing the accuracy of the wetland biomass database.
