Research Areas |
| We are an informal group of scientists in Corvallis, Oregon conducting national, regional, and sub-regional natural resource economics research. Key Team research areas include: 1) investigating the role of the forest sector in mitigating and adapting to climate change, 2) projecting national and regional forestland development; 3) evaluating forest fragmentation and potential effects on ecosystem services; 4) examining development effects on private forests and their management; and 5) identifying factors affecting public values and preferences regarding forestland conservation. Team research often is interdisciplinary and frequently involves scientists and natural resources professionals from government agencies, academia, and conservation organizations. |
