Current Research
- Climate change impacts: we have developed models for most tree species and bird species on potential impacts of several scenarios of climate change. We use statistical modeling tools related to classification and regression trees; our current favorite tool is random forest. We also use a simulation of migration over 100 years to estimate potential spread of trees into the new suitable habitat made available via climate change. Our newest web site offers location-based and species-based information on how managers may move ahead on adaptation efforts for the changing climate.
- Emerald ash borer: we modeled the potential spread of the organism through a migration model.
- Prescribed fire and oak restoration: we are evaluating the role of fire in regenerating oak and other tree species across the landscape, including under mesic, intermediate, and xeric conditions (via the Integrated Moisture Index). We have also modeled landtypes across the southeastern counties of Ohio.
- GIS modeling: we continue to use GIS in modeling outcomes in a variety of projects.

Research Interests
I plan to pursue the same lines of research in the future. As a pioneer in GIS modeling in landscape ecology (since 1983), I know that expanding opportunities continue to make the marriage of ecology and GIS/remote sensing more fruitful and applicable to managing our natural resources. Now, in part-time mode, I work with the Landscape Change Research Group in Delaware and the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science within NRS to further the goals of implementing aspects of adapting to the changing climate as well as tools to enhance potentials for oak regeneration.Why This Research is Important
- Estimation of climate change impacts are being requested by many sources to better understand the implications of various scenarios over the next 100 years
- Estimation of emerald ash borer spread is important to give managers better indications of when the organism will impact their forests
- Facilitation of oak regeneration is important to provide sustained oak and hickory, and all the economic and ecological benefits they provide, over the long term
- GIS modeling provides many tools for developing 'what if' scenarios

National Research Highlights
Defining and Mapping Landtypes to Encourage Shared Stewardship and Oak Management in Southeastern Ohio
Year: 2019
Mapping land types across public and private landscapes encourages shared stewardship by providing owners or managers consistent tools for delineating forest management units, preparing management plans, managing for oak restoration, defining silvicultural prescriptions, assessing productivity, predicting species assemblages, and designing research and monitoring studies.
Mapping U.S. Drought Projections Helps Foresters Plan for Sustainability
Year: 2018
Droughts are natural disturbances that can cause negative effects on natural ecosystems and also have important social and economic consequences. Researchers are helping land managers prepare for changing climate conditions by developing projections of how drought may change in the future.
Managing for a delicious ecosystem service under climate change
Year: 2017
Maple syrup is a highly valued resource produced primarily from the sap of the sugar maple. Understanding how this resource may be impacted by climate change and other threats is essential to continue management for maple syrup into the future.
The hunt for good oak regeneration sites
Year: 2017
Landscape modeling and field sampling may identify the best locations for restoring oak forests. Managers at the Wayne National Forest are using a methodology created by Forest Service scientists to help determine “zones of investment” for maximum value with limited resources.
Forecasts from Multiple Models Provides more Reliable Results
Year: 2016
Using multiple models instead of a single model allows researchers to develop more reliable forecasts of future forest change.
Equipping Forest Managers to Respond to Two Threats to Ash
Year: 2016
Forest Service scientists used field data and models to assess both the threats to, and potential replacement species for, black ash, a species threatened by climate change and the emerald ash borer.
Potential Changes Expected in Sugar Maple Syrup Production
Year: 2015
Scientists expect climate change to decrease the quantity of maple syrup produced per tap, especially in locations more peripheral in the current range of sugar maple; for example, Kentucky will be impacted more than Wisconsin, which will be impacted more than Vermont. To adapt, more trees will need to be tapped to produce equivalent levels of syrup, raising production costs.
Ash Trees at the Confluence of Two Threats: Emerald Ash Borer and Climate Change
Year: 2014
Black ash, the iconic wetland species of the Northwoods, is threatened by both the emerald ash borer and changing climate. What tree species might be suitable to replace these ashes should they disappear Forest Service scientists used a series of data sets and models to characterize and prioritize possible species capable of dealing with the wetland situation under a changed climate projected for later this century.
