Carriere), one of the most abundant, long-lived shade tolerant species, across its range. In addition, a second invasive pest, the elongate hemlock scale (Fiorinia externa; EHS), often co-occurs with HWA on hemlock with unknown long-term consequences. This study was started to analyze Hemlock tree stands, the damage created by HWA and the long term consequences of EHS.Forest Ecosystem Monitoring CooperativeEmeryBooseprincipalInvestigatorSince 1907, the Harvard Forest has served as a center for research and education in forest biology and conservation. The Forest's Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program, established in 1988 and funded by the National Science Foundation, provides a framework for much of this activity.Landscape Response to Hemlock Woolly Adelgid in Southern New England 1997-2011The hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsuga Annand; HWA), a small, aphid-like insect native to Japan, is currently migrating Northward through eastern North America and threatens to eliminate eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.)
