Graham Frank's PhD research on early seral forest biodiversity published in Ecological Applications and Journal of Forestry! 

Graham's research quantifies differences in birds, bees, beetles, legacies, and plant communities among post-fire, post-harvest, and post-salvage stands across a chronosequence from 1-20 years of early seral forest succession. Amazing work Graham.

First two publications are out. Beetles, plants, and synthesis coming soon.

Congratulations Graham!
