Research - Exploring forest soil quality indicators across a climatic gradient in New Zealand
 
  Dan Evans
Research - I am primarily interested in studying the effects of land management practices on long-term productivity and ecosystem function/health. I value soil and water quality as important natural resources that can be used to study the effects of forest and agricultural land management techniques and to help guide future land use. I am also interested in studying restoration techniques for both forest and agricultural settings.

Research - Alsea Watershed Revisited:  This project is a continuation of a paired watershed study, which began in 1958 on three small headwater streams in the Alsea Watershed. The primary focus of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Oregon's Forest Practice's Rules as they pertain to preserving water quality.
