The Boise Aquatic Sciences Lab is just one of many research labs in
the US Forest Service Rocky Mountain
Research Station.
About the Boise Aquatic Sciences Lab
Management of terrestrial and aquatic resources has often been in
conflict. Emerging science suggests they should be elements of the
same problem, creating and maintaining healthy ecosystems. We are
leading efforts to integrate divergent views such as those
associated with the management of fire, roads, and vegetation for
improved management and conservation of native fish, wildlife, and
plant species. To this extent, the Boise Aquatic Sciences Lab houses
scientists associated with these 3 Science Research Programs:
 Air,
Water and Aquatic Environments Research Program
Develop
knowledge of the biophysical conditions and processes that influence
water quality and quantity, aquatic habitat quality, and the
distribution, diversity, and persistence of fish and other aquatic
species.

Watershed Science
Team
 Grassland, Shrubland and Desert Ecosystem Research Program
Develop
knowledge, plant materials, and technology for successful long-term
restoration of diverse shrubland plant communities to meet resource
needs and values.

 Wildlife
and Terrestrial Ecosystems Program
Acquire, develop, and provide reliable information on
wildlife populations and habitats in terrestrial ecosystems to
support science-based decisions for natural resource management.

RESEARCH SUPPORT SERVICES
RSS provides full administrative
support to all research activities at the Boise Laboratory and any
related satellite work location.
We strive to reduce the administrative
burden on our scientists in order to facilitate a great atmosphere
for research.
