Forest Resources and Conservation

Dr. Jason G. Vogel, Assistant Professor

Forest Ecosystems Science

Degrees:
Ph.D, University of Alaska-Fairbanks, 2004
MSc., University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1997
BSc., University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1994
Research Interests:

My research group studies forest nutrient cycling, structure, and growth.  We are interested in how resilient these forest processes and attributes are as they respond to climate change, disturbance, and management decisions. We investigate how silviculture can be used to restore and maintain the attributes of forests that are important to society.
