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.![[Photograph]: Chanterelle mushroom.](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20090119111230im_/http://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/local-resources/images/image004.jpg)
