Overview of the Cary Institute Located in rural mid-Hudson River valley. 2000 acres - mixture forest & fields with perennial stream, ponds, wetlands, research lab facilities, 16 core scientific staff including forest, urban, disease & aquatic ecologists

Environmental Monitoring at Cary Environmental monitoring at Cary includes long-term studies of mice, ticks, Lyme disease, birds, deer, forest health & more. Most of these programs were designed to answer specific questions and have secured ongoing funding, thus serendipitously provide long-term data.

Environmental Monitoring Program Weather & Climate Chemistry – Precipitation, Air, Stream Solar Radiation Phenology (biological monitoring) Water Program that was designed to provide ongoing, long-term data make up the core Environmental Monitoring Program. It provides data in 5 main focal areas.

Weather & Climate (1988 – present) Temperature Relative Humidity Precipitation Volume Snow Wind speed & direction Barometric Pressure Daily, Hourly (1988-present) 3-minute (2011-present)

NOAA US Climate Reference Network (2004-present) Hourly, Daily, 5-minute data Air Temperature, RH, Precipitation, Soil Moisture & Temp., Wetness, Surface Temp., Solar Radiation

Precipitation Chemistry (1983-present) event-based sampling

Air Chemistry Low-volume filter pack – fine particles, HNO3, SO2 (CASTNet, 1988-present) Ground level ozone (NY DEC 1988-present) Ammonia (NADP 2009-present) CO2 (2009-present)

Stream Chemistry (1986-present) (15-min conductivity 2005-present)

Solar Radiation (1988-present) UVB (2000-present) Shortwave PAR Net Radiation Diffuse SW & PAR (shadowband)

Environmental Monitoring & Management Alliance

EMMA Background Created in 2013 with small grant from NY State Conservation Partnership Program - administered by the Land Trust Alliance. Additional LTA grant in 2016 to purchase more equipment & develop website. Large grant from Helmsley Foundation to Vassar College – funded EMMA Coordinator for 2 years – expires Aug 2017

Pressing Environmental Issues for the Region Climate change Habitat loss & fragmentation Invasive species Deer overabundance When EMMA initially formed, we identified these key issues

3 Initial Projects Weather Stations – Climate change Phenology Trails – Native species monitoring – how species respond to climate change, invasive species & habitat fragmentation. Allows for public participation through citizen science. Deer Exclosures – Effects of deer on forest regeneration under different deer management, urbanization & habitat fragmentation (Camera Traps added) (Veg maps added for some sites) We then developed 3 environmental monitoring projects that would provide us with scientifically sound information to develop, justify or adjust management strategies in the face of those key environmental issues. Note the gradient of sites represent a range of habitat fragmentation & urbanization.
