Home The Shingle Shanty Preserve and Research Station SSPRS is a biological field station established in 2008 in the westcentral Adirondacks. Research from Shingle Shanty Published in Soil Biology and Biochemistry Researchers from Skidmore College Kent State University and Indiana University just published an article in the peer reviewed scientific journal Soil Biology and Biochemistry and Shingle Shanty Preserve and Research Station played a critical role as a research site. The article Contextdependence of fungal community response to dominant tree mycorrhizal types in Northern Hardwood Forests addresses the complex and poorly understood relationships between trees and soil fungal symbionts with the goal of a better understanding of how soil fungal communities affect tree growth and nutrient cycling in northern hardwood forests. Ultimately this work helps us to manage forest carbon sequestration across the northeast US.
