The Acer Climate and Socio-Ecological Research Network (ACERnet) is an international consortium of scientists studying climate impacts on sugar maple and maple syrup production. With funding from the Department of Interior Northeast Climate Science Center, our research focuses on the relationship between sap quality and climate, and how producers can and are adapting to climate variability and change. With core sap collection sites from southern Virginia to northern Quebec, and Massachusetts to Indiana, we are collecting data on sap quality across a broad range of climate conditions. We are always interested in expanding our network of sap quality observations and data – from adding producer hosted sample collection sites to historical [...]
