Dr. DeGraaf's research focuses on identifying forest habitat associations
of New England wildlife. Most of his research was conducted on extensive
managed forests and so is designed to understand the responses of
species and groups to forest management. Surveys of birds, small
mammals, and amphibians were conducted in various forest habitats
to document species abundance, habitat use and productivity. Results
were used to improve or develop forest habitat management guidelines
for species or groups, or for biodiversity goals.
