[LTER-luq] It it isn't one thing . . .

[Thompson, Jill]

Hi all,

Don't want Danny to hit as would like post drought LFDP census and longer time since Georges.
But
GREAT - new scenarios to follow.  Hurricanes after drought will mean less green litter deposition, less input to streams, likely less damage to trees as they are carrying fewer leaves, but maybe more depending upon how much stress the drought has caused, different seedling dynamics.

Have we a plan of action?

When can we start the next LFDP census?

Best wishes to all.

Jill
