Time Warp Series Set
The Time Warp Series Set contains one copy of 7 different monographs from our “Time Warp Series”. Each monograph in this series presents research that has been under scientific investigation for a long period of time. Each one contains a recent research study and a historical research study and highlights the ways in which they connect.

Batter Up!
Put your feet up in the dugout and flip through Batter Up, the final edition in the Time Warp Series. In Batter Up, learn about how engineers designed a test to determine baseball bat breakage rates for different types of wood.
On The Fence
The 6th monograph of the Time Warp series examines research on what barriers best protect quaking aspen from browsing ungulates. This contemporary research piece is compared with a research article on similar research in 1974.
Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire
Scientists explore if and how climate and weather are connected to very large wildland fires to help predict and prepare for future events.
Standing On the Shoulders of Giants
Big-leaf mahogany is a tree species known for its beautiful wood. Over time, humans have cut down many big-leaf mahogany trees for use in furniture and other products. Because of this regular human use, big-leaf mahogany is considered vulnerable. To ensure that big-leaf mahogany harvesting is sustainable, scientists and land managers must know the conditions in which mahogany grows.
Chew on This!
Termites are well known pests that can impact homes and other buildings. However, termites also play an important role in forest ecosystems. Scientists in this research try to understand the impact of termites on forest wood decomposition in the Southern United States
Full Throttle Model
Scientists can use models to simulate and predict the effects of an action. In this research in the Great Lakes region, read about efforts to model changes to land use within watersheds to help identify and prioritize watersheds with low water quality which need restoration.
SPLAT!
Mountain pine beetles are a natural part of the environment in forests of the Western United States. However, because of changes to the environment, mountain pine beetles have caused more damage to forests by killing pine trees. Scientists in SPLAT! are using a new chemical treatment to control the beetles. How does this research compare to past research? Read the “Time Warp” section to learn about previous chemical control research conducted on western pine beetles by Forest Service scientists.
