Introducing the Northern Research Station
The North Central Research Station and the Northeastern Research Station have joined to form the Northern Research Station. Our 20-state region spans the Midwest from Minnesota to Missouri and the Northeast from Maine to Maryland.
Our Research Programs
|
Our job is to provide credible, peer-reviewed scientific information, data, and analysis. Our responsibility is to present and distribute the information in a manner that can be understood. Our current research focuses on three integrated research programs. |
|
|
|
Landscape Change:Human development is rapidly fragmenting
the Midwest and changing the flow of forest goods and
services, yet we know little about the drivers and the effects
of this change. Forest Productivity:Midwest timber supplies could fall short of future demands
unless we find ways to optimize and sustain forest
productivity on managed lands. Riparian Landscapes:Clean water, recreation , and other forest resources depend
on the health of "lands at the water's edge," yet we have much
to learn about the riparian areas that characterize our
region. |
