CrustNet installation at Grasslands National Park this week in Saskatchewan, Canada. Special shout out to Kai Schmitt, Emilie Porter, and Jordan Perron for spending time in the field with us. The Grasslands crusts are so beautiful. We are so lucky!

#CrustNet is at Lubrecht Experimental Forest in Montana! We could not have done this without our amazing DIRT Lab crew, Scott Ferrenberg, and @matthewbowker1.bsky.social. We had challenging conditions, black bears, and wildflowers galore.
In May, we installed #CrustNet at MPG Ranch in Montana. Many DIRT Lab folks assisted in this effort. We are so grateful to study the biocrusts in this environment and with so much support from MPG.
It was a pleasure to visit Grasslands National Park with collaborators Katherine Stewart and Diane Haughland and their graduate students. We will finish this #CrustNet setup in September. Can’t wait to visit this Cladonia heaven again.
CrustNet is now at the Northern Great Basin Experimental Range in Oregon! Thanks to @rcoconnor.bksy.social and his awesome field crew for assisting with setup. We are so excited to include this site as a #CrustNet node.
Starting to measure #CrustNet plots, and learning some of our biocrust species! Thanks @sierrajech.bsky.social for coming out to NGBER! @matthewbowker1.bsky.social @ecology-awesome.bsky.social
