Forest Complexity and Ecosystem Functioning

We strive to understand how forest structural complexity affects productivity and other ecosystem functions. We are also interested in how management affects these relationships and in developing management strategies to promote structural complexity in forests.

Disturbance Interactions in Forest Ecosystems

Disturbance interactions can have out-sized influence on forest ecosystem structure and functioning. We aim to better understand the dynamics of interacting disturbances to help predict how the increasing frequency and severity of disturbances related to global change will affect the resilience of our forests.

Urban Forest Landscapes

We aim to better understand the dynamics of urban forest landscapes, including drivers of change in composition and structure in these human-dominated forests and consequences for the ecosystem benefits they provide to human society.
