A comprehensive ecological accounting of the Eastern Hemlock tree (Tsuga canadensis) was published this month in The Journal of Ecology by HF Senior Ecologist Dave Orwig and recent Bullard Fellow Peter Thomas.

The paper follows the international standard for outlining a species’ distribution, habitat, communities, responses to the environment, structure and physiology, phenology, herbivores and disease, history, more.
