Dr. Larson's Cliff Ecology Research Group consists of graduate students, research associates and summer students who join in trying to understand the ecology of an entire 'place' known as a cliff. By studying cliffs from as many perspectives as possible they hope to gain a better understanding of how an ecosystem works than is possible using traditional approaches. Cliffs are relatively discrete and biologically unproductive which simplifies our task. To date, the group has shown that cliffs have many interesting characteristics, including the fact that they support the least disturbed and oldest forest ecosystem in North America.
