Projects
Budburst sponsors research projects that address current ecological challenges by simply participating and collecting data. From plant observations to plant and animal interactions and beyond, there’s always something for everyone to enjoy.
Plants & Climate Change
A large part of Budburst research focuses on how climate change affects plants. We collect long-term phenology data to answer a variety of questions, such as: how do different species respond to a changing climate, do species respond similarly across their range, and do native and invasive species respond differently.
Plant-Animal Interactions
The data we collect on pollinator visits to plants and other plant-animal interactions can be used to answer questions such as: are plant-pollinator relationships changing as the climate changes, do plants attract more pollinators in their native range vs. their invaded or horticultural range.
