PHYS-FEST 4

PhysFest 4 was hosted at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. The Sevilleta is a vast 230,000 acre sanctuary where four distinct biomes (Chihuahuan Desert, Colorado Plateau Shrub Steppe, Great Plains Prairie, Pinyon-Juniper woodland) converge, creating incredible biodiversity. The Sevilleta is also a key research site for the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) network. At PF4, we focused on learning key ecophysiological methods and applying them to understanding desert ecosystems.
