Marcell Experimental Forest. Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) is a 1,140 ha long-term ecosystem research site operated by the Northern Research Station of the U.S. Forest Service. It is located 40 km north of Grand Rapids, Minnesota within the Chippewa National Forest and was formally established in 1962 to study the ecology and hydrology of peatland watersheds. There are six experimental watersheds each of which consist of an upland portion, a peatland, and an outlet stream. The range of these six watersheds provide a variety of hydrological environments to study. Climatic and hydrologic data have been continuously monitored since 1961. Some notable research areas have been hydrology, nutrient and mercury cycling and behavior, and release of organic carbon and acidity.

MEF is the longest running National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) site in the nation.

Climate and physical characteristics 
Peatlands and lakes comprise 30% of the forest landscape at the MEF. The peatlands include fens and bogs.  The peatlands may be treeless or have tree cover and the forested bogs contain black spruce and tamarack. Both forested and open bogs are dominated by Sphagnum and ericaceous shrubs. Fens also include northern white cedar and black ash.

The climate is subhumid continental with moist warm summers and relatively dry, cold, and sunny winters including large diurnal and seasonal temperature fluctuations. The extreme low temperature is -50.8 °F, extreme high temperature is 100.4 °F, and the average annual air temperature is 38.1 °F. The average temperature at MEF has risen about 0.72 °F per decade since the 1960s.

Mean annual precipitation is 30.4 inches with 75% occurring in the snow-free period.

The pH of waters in the bogs range from about 3.5 to 4.5 with the fens having a pH of near neutral.

Facilities 
The Marcell Research Center has a heated shop, laboratory, conference facility and living quarters for up to eight visiting researchers and graduate students.

Spruce-Peatland Responses Under Climatic and Environmental Change (SPRUCE) project is located within MEF and is a climate change manipulation study. This is a 10+ year, large scale Department of Energy sponsored experiment that is a collaboration between the US Forest Service Northern Research Station and Oak Ridge National Laboratory and involves 100+ scientists from around the world. Large chambers have been built to test the effect of elevated temperature and elevated carbon dioxide on bog vegetation and carbon dynamics.

SS Benjamin Ide Wheeler. SS Benjamin Ide Wheeler was a Liberty ship, a cargo ship during World War II. Built by California Shipbuilding Corporation (Calship) of Los Angeles for the United States Maritime Commission (USMC). Benjamin Ide Wheeler was Calship's 100th ship built. She was sponsored and christened by Mrs. Robert Gordon Sproul, wife of Robert Gordon Sproul President of the University of California system. She was named after Benjamin Ide Wheeler President of the University of California from 1899 to 1919. Her Hull # was 675, she was type EC2-S-C1 ship, built in 50 days as part of the Emergency Shipbuilding Program. Her keel was laid down on 28 October 1942, launched on 27 November 1942 and delivered on 17 December 1942. She was assigned to American-Hawaiian Steamship Company of San Francisco for merchant operation by the War Shipping Administration (WSA).

World War II
Benjamin Ide Wheeler departed San Francisco on 27 January 1944 with war dogs for India. Wheeler arrived at Calcutta on 6 April 1944. Some of the dogs were sent to Burma. The dogs were used by the United States Marine Corps and US Army. The US Army's Veterinary Service cared for the dogs on the ship and at arrival.

Benjamin Ide Wheeler continued from India with her other cargo and passengers: 267 Army Engineers with all their gear, including high explosives and gasoline.

Benjamin Ide Wheeler continued from India to the Philippines, to be part of the supply ships that supported the Battle of Leyte from 7 October to 26 December 1944 in the Pacific war campaign. Before she could drop anchor at Leyte Gulf, Empire of Japan planes started attacking her. SS Benjamin Ide Wheeler's United States Navy Armed Guards had to man the ship's deck guns 353 times in 76 days. But on 27 October 1944 a Kamikaze Zero plane dive-bomber already hit and smoking crashed down into one of her cargo holds. The plane and its aerial bomb exploded and sank the ship in 36 feet of water, the United States Navy Armed Guard were able to continue to defend, as the deck guns were above the waterline. It is reported that they shot down four planes that day.  One Seaman and Armed Guard were killed in the explosion. Earle Woodring received a Bronze Star Medal for his actions.

She was refloated and use as a stationary depot ship at Leyte.  She was not repaired and was scrapped after the war in 1948.
