Management
Silviculture Is The Tool for Achieving Many Management Objectives
My research focuses on using traditional and experimental silviculture
practices to achieve a spectrum of objectives in a landscape,
including commodity production, habitat creation, and ecosystem
restoration. The art and science of forest management has not
fundamentally changed in the last decade, but the objectives
have broadened and become more controversial. This forces our
forest management actions to be more creative, complex, adaptive
and defensible.
We have initiated research projects to evaluate the role of
stand structure and dynamics on fire hazard, mature forest development,
sustainable forest management, and post-fire recovery. Our silviculture
research considers the broad economic, ecological, and sociopolitical
implications on forest management.
