The Desert Laboratory at 1675 West Anklam Road, Tucson, Arizona was founded by the Carnegie Institution in 1903 to study how plants survive and thrive in the heat and aridity of deserts. Beginning in 1906, numerous long term ecological observation areas were set up by Volney Spalding & Forrest Shreve on the scientific domain of Tumamoc Hill. Nine of these are the world's oldest permanent ecology study quadrats. The facility and staff were key contributors to what is now considered the science of ecology, including participating in the creation of the Ecological Society of America in 1915 and the Ecology journal.〔(Research at Tumamoc )〕 Led by Spalding & Shreve, they also contributed innovations in conservation. Part of it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965.,〔〔Ann Huston (September 1986) (National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Desert Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution / Tumamoc Hill ), National Park Service and (Accompanying 8 photos, exterior, from 1986. )〕 The rest was added in 1987. ==History== Acting on the authority of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Frederick Vernon Coville Botanist of the USDA and Daniel T. McDougal of the New York Botanical Garden chose Tumamoc Hill as the location of the Desert Laboratory in February, 1903. It opened in October of that year. It is now operated by Tumamoc: People & Habitats, part of The University of Arizona's College of Science.
