Field supplies climate change researchers used to study ecosystem changes under warming

Caption

Researchers at Holden Forests & Gardens used these supplies to study how decomposition rates change under warming temperatures. Clockwise from top left, you’ll see litter samples, tubes with soil samples, a syringe used to extract gas samples, a mason jar with a top fitted with a rubber septum used in the lab study, and additional soil and litter samples.
