| 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.
