Fall 2022, Temple Forest Observatory Research conducted by Faisal Shaikh After the Temple Ambler Field Station was hit by an EF-2 tornado, opportunities to study forest resilience opened. As the Temple Forest Observatory (TFO) was 63% censused before the storm hit in September 2021, we shifted our focus to finding what remained in the forest. As the field station interns were able to fully census TFO as of July 2022, we then compared forest census data pre- and post- tornado. Having data from before and after the storm allows us to start examining rates of loss and predict potential forest regeneration trajectories. With the help of exploratory analysis in R, we were able to look at numerous patterns of the deceased species and learn why the forest looks the way it looks today.
