Listen to Prof Kerry Rabenold on the Ross Reserve project. 

The forest census began in 1949 with Alton Lindsay. But after Alton retired, Kerry Rabenold continued the forest census for several decades. 
Here's a video from 2010, where Prof Kerry Rabenold discusses some of the details and history of the Ross Biological Reserve. Did you know the department of Biological sciences controls invasive species on the whole 27Ha property?

80 years of forest dynamics at Ross Biological Reserve

Purdue University

Ecological systems move on long timescales which require long-term study. Forest dynamics at the Ross Biological Reserve have been measured continuously every decade since 1949. In 2019, we are due for the 80 year study, but do not have the required funding to complete this. With the funds to support a crew of six we plan to complete the 2019 census from April to September. We plan to take our collected data and all previous data and digitize it making the data publicly available online.
