Undergraduate Students Measure Photosynthesis in Harvard Forest

Posted by chris_heiser on August 20, 2019

NAU Post Doctoral Scientist Dr Tim Rademacher worked with undergraduate students Alexis Helgeson and Elise Miller at Harvard Forest in summer 2019. Alexis and Elise are students from Mt Holyoke College and the College of St Benedict, respectively, and participated in Harvard Forest’s National Science Foundation funded Research Experience for Undergraduates summer program. They measured photosynthesis and leaf fluorescence in the treetops with a boom lift affectionately called “Bucky” (for its bucket enclosure they rode up into the forest canopy). Their measurements and data analysis will help us quantify plant stress as well as the response of photosynthesis to light and rising carbon dioxide concentrations.
