Forest Ecology Home

The forest ecology group at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities is made up of individuals from the Reich, Montgomery and D'Amato labs and the Center for Forest Ecology (Frelich) and is based in the Department of Forest Resources. The Hobbie, Cavender-Bares and Powers labs in the Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and the Kipfmueller lab in the Dept. of Geography are also participants in the group. Additionally, we collaborate with Tali Lee in the Biology Department at U of WI - Eau Claire, Cindy Hale at U of MN - Duluth, and Meredith Cornett at The Nature Conservancy.

Our "group" is open to anyone with an interest in forest ecology!

Reich is also affiliated with the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment at the University of Western Sydney. He is helping to develop this new institute,  which has comprehensive field and laboratory based facilities for research from genes to ecosystems and is dedicated to answering crucial questions about the impact of environmental change on land-based ecosystems. In so doing he is working to build linkages with ongoing global change experiments here in Minnesota and additionally to develop education and research exchange programs between HIE and Minnesota at levels from undergraduate to postdoc to faculty.
