Fall Foliage - Climate Change

In the October issue of National Geographic magazine, the leaf pigmentation work of former Bullard Fellow David Lee and the fall phenology observations of Museum Coordinator and ecologist John O'Keefe are highlighted in a brief piece on fall color. You can view today's fall foliage color at Harvard Forest at the webcam view of Prospect Hill. View a sequence of images tracking color change to date through this season. You can also see the fall foliage season unfold in previous years as shown from the pasture near the Harvard Forest headquarters. Learn more about the science behind leaf color change at a site developed by David Lee.
