Green Tree Reservoirs provide ecosystem services as well as duck hunting opportunities and timber harvesting. By understanding forest composition, across elevation gradients, research outcomes can be provided to landowners to inform management decisions that will promote a healthy and sustainable Green Tree Reservoir in Arkansas and across the region.

Learning Objectives:

comprehend how fine-scale shifts in elevation alters overstory forest composition across Green Tree Reservoirs
explain how red oak species and abundance within Green Tree Reservoirs varies throughout environmental changes such as elevation and soil composition.
