stand-level modeling of alternative silviculture systems, modeling
of sustainability of ecosystems in mixed forests, nutrient cycling,
carbon allocation
- Criteria/indicators/standards for sustainable forestry: monitoring
and effectiveness assessment, including development and monitoring
of certification standards for assessing forest management practices,
role of forestry in the global carbon cycle, monitoring impact

biodiversity, windthrow assessment, and management, effects of
habitat restoration on fish habitat/ecology/physiology, benthic
invertebrates and amphibians
- Visual resource management and public perception: forest landscape
planning, landscape assessment and perception, modeling of human/
landscape interactions, conflicts in outdoor recreation and tourism
- Genetics of forest flora and fauna: impacts of forest management
on genetic diversity, physiological genetics of forest trees,
application of genetic markers to studies of mating systems, adaptations
to climate change, strategies for gene conservation
