Hallmark projects include studies of the impact of acid rain on forests and freshwater ecosystems, unraveling the relationship between biodiversity loss and emerging infectious diseases, and tracking how climate change influences the spread of invasive species. The Cary Institute’s Goals: •Advance understanding about the structure and function of ecological systems. •Provide the scientific knowledge needed to solve environmental problems. •Enhance the ecological literacy of students, decision makers, and the public. •Train the next generation of ecologists and resource managers.
