The Forest & Stream Team aims to improve and better understand forest ecosystems, forest restoration, and sustainable markets for ecosystem services. The team this year is considering research that includes using novel technologies such as remote sensing, lidar, and AI approaches to investigate forest restoration and resilience, quantify ecosystem services, and manage watershed restoration and habitat connectivity projects.
Goals
- Better understand and improve forest ecosystems.
- Advance forest restoration efforts.
- Support sustainable markets for ecosystem services.
Strategies
- In-stream monitoring
- Ecosystem service evaluations
- High-resolution LiDAR data assessment
- Hands-on restoration work
