Acer Climate and Socio-Ecological Research Network (ACERnet) is an international group of scientists dedicated to advancing our understanding of sugar maple ecology and management of maple species in a changing climate. Our research team is monitoring sugar maple sap flow at sites across sugar maple’s range – from Virginia to Quebec – to understand how climate effects sap flow, sugar content, and chemical composition. These aspects of sap quality together influence the quality and quantity of syrup produced.
