Our Research
Our Research is divided into four research areas:
Program Leaders: Professor Tom Lyons and Assistant Professor Michael Saam-Renton
Postdoctoral Research Associate: Dr Niels Brouwers
Strategic Goal for the Program: To develop ecosystem models which formally scale between the short-term leaf level responses of individual plants and the long-term large scale dynamics of heterogeneous and functionally diverse woodland and forest ecosystems.
Program Leaders: Professor Giles Hardy and Associate Professor Erik Veneklaas
Strategic Goal for the Program: To understand the causes and processes behind woodland and forest declines to assist in the implementation of adaptive management to control these declines.
Program Leaders:Professor Richard Hobbs
Postdoctoral Research Associate: Dr Leonie Valentine
Strategic Goal for the Program: To acquire and disseminate key restoration techniques required to restore biodiversity values of declining trees, woodlands and forests.
Program Leaders:Associate Professor Susan Moore and Dr Catherine Baudains
Postdoctoral Research Associate: Dr Marleen Buizer
Strategic Goal for the Program: To explore and develop policy options to facilitate management actions that will improve the health of woodland and forest ecosystems. |
