Research & Development

Themes: Forest Stress Impacts

Goal:

Our focus is to develop and deliver basic and applied information about the effects of single and multiple stressors, such as air pollution, global change, and insect and disease problems on watershed and ecosystem processes. This research includes biological and silvicultural control of forest pests, understanding natural cycles and disturbance, air pollution effects, carbon exchange and storage, and impacts of climate change.

Objectives

• Understand the relationships of forests and watersheds to natural cycles and human disturbances.
• Develop technology to effectively detect, monitor, and eradicate or manage non-native invasive species
• Understand the effects of air pollution on forest nutrient cycles, patterns of insect and disease occurrence, forest renewal, and forest health.
