SCIENTISTS CREATE ICE STORMS TO STUDY NATURE'S CHILLY RESPONSE

Researchers at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest simulate ice storms to study their impact on forests. They use water pumps to create ice on trees and measure the effects on the ecosystem, including nutrient levels, carbon cycling, and greenhouse gas emissions. The study aims to understand how forests recover from such events and prepare for future climate-related disturbances.
