The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this cooperative agreement grant to a CESU-affiliated partner. This grant is for the critical purpose of conducting simulation modelling to thoroughly quantify the status and analyze trends in the vegetation within Isle Royale National Park. The comprehensive research funded by this opportunity will specifically examine the complex interplay of various ecological factors, including the natural processes of forest succession, the significant impact of wolf predation, the effects of herbivory by moose and beaver, and the overarching influence of climate change on the park’s ecosystems. The findings will provide vital insights into the long-term health and dynamics of the park’s plant communities.
