  • Ecological Restoration Project for the Climate Crisis

    Many people feel helpless in the face of the climate crisis, but there are many solutions. One solution that is well within the power of most people is strengthening the suburban environment. Environments highly impacted by human intervention especially those with a high proportion of non-native plants are ecologically less stable and less resilient to the assaults of climate change. Environmental remediation by removal of invasive plants and replanting or planting native plants in areas disturbed by humans is partial ecological restoration. As part of the Climate Crisis Teach-In, Catherine Duckett, Ph.D., will lead interested students and other members of the community in an ecological restoration project on Elinor Ave at Ross Lake Park and at adjacent Van Court Park. Volunteers will be shown how to identify the most common invasive vines and weeds. Volunteers will cut and remove these “invasives”s. Areas suitable for replanting will be planted with hardy native species such as goldenrod, violets and snakeroot.

  • What Remains: Ghost Forests, What We Have Lost and Gained.

    Pedram Daneshgar, Ph.D.

    Climate change induced sea level rise and storm related flooding events have had a dramatic effect on the coastal ecosystems of New Jersey. Salt water intrusion into coastal forests that are normally buffered by salt marsh ecosystems forests results in extensive tree die offs leaving behind what has been termed a “ghost forest,” a novel marsh hybrid ecosystem filled with dead trees. Often these ghost forests are invaded by non-native species like phragmites, which completely alter the function of the ecosystem. Pedram Daneshgar, Ph.D., will share the work his lab has done exploring the Ecology of ghost forests specifically looking at how the forest communities are changed. Then he will discuss preliminary work on restoration strategies for these forests.
