Branch Chief: Zack Bowen
FORT scientists in the Ecosystem Dynamics Branch investigate a diversity of natural resource problems at the landscape and systems levels related to wildfire, riparian ecology, reference ecosystems, herbivore-ecosystem interactions, and integrated assessments of the urban-wildland interface.
USGS scientist Craig D. Allen was the featured speaker at a public session of the new Communication Forum, a "meeting place" under the Global Change Field Laboratory in Sierra Nevada Natural and National Park, Spain. The inaugural forum on April 17-18 was in two parts, the public awareness event with Dr. Allen on April 17, and a scientific-adaptive management oriented meeting the next day, which he also attended. As part of his mountain systems exchange work with Sierra Nevada colleagues, Dr. Allen discussed climate-induced forest dieback in southwestern U.S. forests and woodlands.
