Ecological Processes and Restoration Team

The team develops methods to restore animal and plant communities and assess how well restored systems compare with target natural systems.

Emphases are:

• Providing Technology transfer of existing knowledge
• Developing methods to establish plant communities similar to natural plant communities
• Developing methods to establish animal communities in aquatic and bottomland hardwood habitats
• Identifying baseline levels of natural ecosystem functions and values as a yardstick for restoration success
