RESEARCH PROJECTS
|
Scientists
in the Ecosystem Processes Program study fundamental forest
physiology and ecology, wildlife ecology, long-term sustainability,
and biodiversity. Geographically, our eight research teams work
from southern Oregon to central Alaska, and from coast to interior.
We use a variety of methods--from field and experimental biology,
to stand and landscape manipulation, to simulation modeling--to
increase fundamental understanding of forest processes and provide
management options for land managers in all sectors. |
