Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve is a University of Minnesota biological field station and a National Science Foundation Long-Term Ecological Reserach Site with many species found throughout the forests, savannas, and grasslands of North America. Faculty, staff, and students who work at Cedar Creek are dedicated to understanding how human activities are changing ecosystems. Many of the experiments at Cedar Creek consisder the long-term consequences of human-driven environmental changes. These include ecosystem responses to biodiversity loss, nitrogen deposition, elevated carbon dioxide, warming and changes in precipitation, and exotic species invasions. Cedar Creek's Education and Outreach program provides science-based educational resources for learners of all ages. Knowledge gained at Cedar Creek is shared with citizens of the state, nation, and world.
