University of Minnesota Experimental Forests project activity summary for 2021

Abstract

This report provides an end-of-year status update for the project record database for calendar year 2021 and a description of how we define "Status" in the project records data management system. A total of 88 projects were included in the end-of-year check in list. Project status for 29 projects was updated via direct communication with the project leader and through the Google Form based survey for 59. Status for five projects was changed to "Complete" and the rest remained "Active" or "Long-term." Projects ranged across primary purpose categories (research, teaching/education/outreach, demonstration/case/study/monitoring, management/stewardship, and other) and occurred at three of the four experimental forests sites.
