Welcome to the Forest and Woodland Ecology Lab!
Our research focuses on understanding the effects of climate and disturbances on forest dynamics so that as a society we can make more informed management decisions. Our research covers a breadth of topics in forest science and climate change, including the environmental drivers of tree demography (seed production, recruitment, growth, and survival), the causes and consequences of forest disturbances, tree population adaptation, and ecological forecasting of demographic events. Through co-developed research with partners and stakeholders, our research also identifies strategies to enhance forest resilience to global change and to meet diverse management objectives.
Our approach integrates across multiple spatial scales, ranging from the individual tree-scale to broader regional scales, which has allowed us to ask plant population ecology questions at the landscape level. We use a variety of tools and methods, including observational field surveys, dendrochronology, and experimental studies. We also draw upon publicly available geospatial data, long-term research sites, spatially extensive inventory and monitoring data, and archival records to broaden the temporal and spatial-scope of research studies.
