My colleagues Calvin Farris (NPS) and Ellis Margolis (USGS) led a landmark study in paleofire reconstruction. In addition to showing that fire management can restore past fire regimes, the demonstrated methods are a first in dendrochronology. 1/6 esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Oysters can reduce the transmission of a deadly parasite in juvenile blue crabs by filtering infectious particles from the water, highlighting their role in supporting coastal ecosystem health. doi.org/hbnpht
Oysters play unexpected role in protecting blue crabs from disease
Oysters famously filter their surrounding water, but it turns out they are removing more than algae and excess nutrients.
