Meadows in the Oregon Cascades are vital and threatened ecosystems that support a tremendous amount of both plant and pollinator diversity. My research used long-term data from the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest to get a better understanding of how these networks of plants and pollinators are impacted by climate variation and what that might mean for their future.
