Leaves feed our soil and growing insects
Fallen leaves are important to ecosystems and add valuable nutrients back to the soil when they decompose. These same leaves provide a stable habitat where many beneficial insects and pollinators survive over winter. The Bucknell Center for Sustainability and the Environment along with students, faculty, and staff around campus are conducting research around this pair of trees to better understand the impacts of leaves and quantify their effects. To learn more about this research and other trees that are a part of the study, come back to this blog!
