        <description><![CDATA[ Carolyn Copenheaver&#39;s Forest Ecology and Silvics students are learning to identify tree-related microhabitats. &#34;A microhabitat is a little tiny feature on a standing or dead tree that allows other organisms to live in that feature,&#34; explains Copenheaver. &#34;The reason we pay attention to microhabitats is they&#39;re a proxy record for bio-diversity. So the more microhabitats you have in a forest, the higher the biodiversity is in that stand.&#34; ]]></description>
