Adaptation to climate and populations responses to climate change
We are modeling species- and population-level growth responses to changes in climate using provenance and common garden tests data to understand forest tree species adaptation to climate.
Modeling forests and natural regeneration
Our research focuses on modeling the biotic, abiotic and management conditions that lead to the regeneration of mixed-oak forests, and on modeling forests to aid management of resilient forests.
Completed and Archived - Estimation and modeling of forest attributes
Our research in this area spans work on improving plot design to optimize estimation, simulating tree spatial patterns in forests, and modeling forest attributes such as canopy height and density with inventory, topographic, and remotely sensed data.
