Research Summaries

Research summaries are short descriptions of research papers relevant for natural resources management that consider invasive species and climate change, including key take home points and practical implications. Sign up for the NE RISCC listserv to receive email updates of research summaries (sent every other Wednesday). Research summaries address NE RISCC’s goal of translating science for practice. For more in-depth syntheses, check out our Research to Practice papers.
