Ecology and Ecosystems Research

Research in this area focuses on...

  • defining and measuring sustainable ecosystem productivity across a wide range of ecological conditions, disturbance regimes (fire, harvesting, insects), and management regimes (plantations, spacing, fertilization);
  • determining forest vegetation succession after human and natural disturbances; and
  • studying population dynamics of forest insects, pathogens, and microbes, ecophysiology, and behavior, host-plant interactions, natural enemies, and population modeling.
