Generating knowledge for more sustainable ecosystems
The Department of Ecosystem Science and Management conducts research focused on conserving, restoring, and better managing ecosystems to be more sustainable. Research spans natural to human dominated ecosystems and integrates disciplines from wildlife and fisheries sciences, forest sciences, hydrological sciences, and soil sciences. Our work is multidisciplinary, applied, and impactful.
Centers, Labs, Partners
The Department of Ecosystems Science and Management is home to the Center for Private Forests and the Schatz Center for Tree Molecular Genetics.
Many of our faculty maintain websites highlighting their research programs and facilities. Our laboratories—whether in house or out in the environment—support a broad range of study.
We partner with natural resource management organizations to provide students opportunities to learn and study with professionals and scientists—partnerships that contribute to the conservation and enhancement of our natural resources.
