Red-backed Salamanders as Indicators of Hemlock Forest Health at Harvard Forest 2014
Species that react quickly to ecological changes are useful indicators for assessing forest health. Red-backed salamanders (Plethodontid cinereus) may be used as an indicator species in declining hemlock forests, allowing for assessment of soil quality and forest health. We hypothesized that decline of hemlock stands due to the effect of hemlock woolly adelgid would negatively impact the abundance of red-backed salamanders by altering soil quality. In the Hemlock Removal Experiment at Harvard Forest, eight-0.8ha plots were treated either with girdling to simulate adelgid invasion, logging to simulate preemptive logging strategies, no treatment in hemlock areas, or no treatment in hardwood areas. Within these treatments in June and July of 2014, P. cinereus relative abundance was determined from coverboard surveys. Soil quality was determined from core samples. Bulk density, pH, carbon-nitrogen ratio, moisture, soil temperature, and litter depth were measured, and ordination was used to create an index of soil quality from these. There was a significant correlation between plot treatment and soil quality (p less than 0.05). Temperature, CN ratio, and pH influenced a strong significant negative correlation between soil quality and salamander abundance (pless than 0.05). Soil quality affected by hemlock decline influenced salamander abundance. These data suggest that we could gain an understanding of forest health and soil quality by examining salamander abundance. Assessing adelgid invasion can be difficult and objective, whereas salamander abundances are easily measured; therefore, we suggest that salamander abundances could be useful in assessing the health of hemlock forest ecosystems.
Mohonk Preserve Forest Health Monitoring Data 2018-2021
In 2018, the Mohonk Preserve’s Daniel Smiley Research Center implemented a long-term research project aimed at inventorying forest vegetation and monitoring forest health. The protocol was adapted from the National Park Service’s Northeast Temperate Network (https://www.nps.gov/im/netn/forest-health.htm). This project monitors the composition and structure of the Mohonk Preserve forests, and collects data for assessing forest soil condition, impacts of white-tailed deer herbivory, and land cover. In 2018, 24 plots were established in four habitat types: Eastern hemlock forest (n = 6), white ash forest (n = 6), historic prescribed burn forest (n = 6), and randomly selected forest (n = 6). In 2021, an additional 14 plots were established in two historic Breeding Bird Survey research areas: Eastern hemlock forest (n = 8) and pitch pine forest (n = 6). All data collection occurred between the months of June through August. Plots are scheduled to be resampled every four years.
Tree species identity, diameter and qualitative canopy health measurements (full, partial or dead) from 2005 to 2023 on 12 experimental oak loss plots in Black Rock Forest, NY.
Black Rock Forest established a series of 12, 0.56 ha plots in 2005 to assess impacts of the loss of tree in the genus Quercus on the forest ecosystem (entitled the Future of Oak Forests experiment). Three trunk girdling treatments, with control plots were instituted in 2008. Each plot also contained an ~10m by ~15m deer exclosure to assess the impact of herbivory post-disturbance. Trees were measured twice per year from 2008 to 2013 (except 2009 when trees were measured once) and once per year from 2014 to 2023. Data include tree species identity, diameter at breast height (DBH), canopy health (a qualitative assessment of approximate cover as full, partial or dead), presence/absence of sprouts, and location within the plot. All live trees equal to or larger than 2.5 cm DBH are included in the dataset.

Health and mycorrhizal colonization response of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) seedlings to calcium addition in Watershed 1 at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest
We examined the health and mycorrhizal colonization rates of sugar maple germinants on a Calcium (Ca)- treated watershed at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and compared their status to the health of seedlings growing on reference sites. We quantified general sugar maple germinant health by height, leaf area, biomass, and chlorophyll content. To determine vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization rates, we first cleared and stained germinant roots and then examined their structures microscopically. We found that sugar maple seedlings on the Ca-addition site were taller, had larger leaves, more root, leaf, and stem biomass, and more chlorophyll per unit leaf area. These seedlings also had a significantly larger percentage of their roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi. Our results indicate a correlation between soil Ca availability, mycorrhizal colonization rates, and overall seedling health. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
