The university-based New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station will spend the next three years evaluating hydrangea species to better inform farmers on key characteristics and performance, including the vase life of cut stems.

The New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory recently was recognized by the state for its efforts to mitigate antimicrobial resistance by rapidly identify infections in animals and performing other diagnostic tests in service to the state and region.

More than 130 years ago, Congress established the nation鈥檚 state agricultural experiment station system. Throughout history, these public research organizations, most at land-grant state universities such as the 麻豆app, have addressed the most pressing agricultural and natural resources problems of the day.

For safety reasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, access to听our听NHAES farms and greenhouses听has been temporarily restricted to employees and essential research staff only.听

麻豆app (UNH) researchers have launched a new study that will evaluate plants from three听听for cut flower and landscape use.

The next major eastern spruce budworm outbreak likely will hit Northeastern United States forests over the next few years, putting more than 11.4 million acres of forest and 94.8 million metric tons of stored carbon in spruce and balsam fir at risk. While salvaging these trees for energy or lumber increases carbon dioxide emissions in the short-term, New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station researchers have found that certain forest management practices result in long-term benefits that can balance these short-term setbacks.

A two-year study into cover crops at UNH听allowed scientists to determine not just the average values for each cover crop but also the consistency of each cover crop鈥檚 performance.

Serita Frey, professor of soil microbial ecology at the 麻豆app and a researcher with the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station, has been named a fellow by the Ecological Society of America.

Tim Marquis graduated with his bachelor鈥檚 degree in from the UNH College of Life Sciences and Agriculture in 2015, and will complete medical school at the University of Connecticut this May. While he was an undergraduate, he conducted research at the with Dr. Stacia Sower, professor emerita of molecular, cellular, and biomedical sciences, a novel pituitary cell type in the lamprey. He credits his work with her and her mentorship with providing him the personal and professional qualities necessary for him to perform high-quality research in a world-class environment. As he fininishes medical school during the COVID-19 pandemic and prepares听to start his residency at Yale, we asked him what the last few months have been like. Here is what he told us.

Wood-fired heaters create local jobs. Can they fight climate change, too?
