Boreal Forest Observatory



     The Boreal Forest Observatory is a research and teaching platform located on the University of Alaska Anchorage Campus. The observatory's aim is to quantify the abiotic and biotic processes of a forest in an urban setting and to provide real-time data for use by students, researchers, the public and resource managers. The BFO is a collaborative endeavor lead by the Environment and Natural Resources Institute (Climate Center and Ecosystems Studies Group) and the Biology Department. The project was initiated with a competitive grant received from the UAA Chancellor's Enhancement Fund, awarded in 2005.
