Data, National Aeronautics and Space Administration. A. Moody (PI), R. Peet (Co-I). $358,158, 8/06 to 7/09.

This grant from NASA will support integration of plot data and remote sensing data to study environmental determinants of plant species richness and beta-diversity in NC, SC, and VA. Jen Costanza, Dahl Winters, and Matt Simon are currently working on this study.

11-14-2006: Matt Hayes (former master's student) had his thesis published in the journal Plant Ecology.

10-02-2006: SERDP Project Website: Mapping Habitat Connectivity for Multiple Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Species On and Around Military Installations

The goal of this project is to develop methods for identifying lands on and around military bases that provide high connective value for suites of species of management concern. The principal investigators involved are Aaron Moody (UNC-Chapel Hill), Nick Haddad (NC State University), Bill Morris (Duke University), and Jeff Walters (Virginia Tech).
