CBS faculty contribute to international reports on biodiversity and land degradation
Reports on the global state of biodiversity and land degradation and restoration draw on expertise of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior faculty.
Two comprehensive global assessments of biodiversity and land degradation and restoration, produced by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), were recently approved at an IPBES Plenary in Medellín, Colombia. IPBES has 129 State Members, including the United States.
Bacteria, Bottles and Fungal Breakdown
Project launched at Itasca to explore impact of bacteria on fungal decomposition reactions.
Snapshots From Lake Itasca
Itasca station biologist Lesley Knoll launches a social media campaign to document lakes daily.
Lesley Knoll, station biologist at Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories, is taking her love of photography and science to the world of social media. She recently launched the #lake365 project. The goal: to take a photo of Lake Itasca from the same spot each day for a year.
