💡 VMN October CE Webinar: The ecology and restoration of urban forested natural areas

Description: Small forests embedded across developed landscapes are susceptible to adjacent and regional anthropogenic activities and are ideal for studying the combined effects of global environmental change on ecosystems. Dr. Trammell will present research conducted on urban forests of the Mid-Atlantic highlighting plant and soil communities and research on adaptive management practices for resilient and sustainable urban forests. The talk will highlight a co-produced research project between urban forest practitioners, university researchers, and US Forest Service scientists with the goal of building resilient urban forests for climate change.

Presenter: Dr. Tara L.E. Trammell is the John Bartram Associate Professor of Urban Forestry in the Plant and Soil Sciences Department at the University of Delaware. She has a Ph.D. and M.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Mathematics. For over 20 years, she has conducted research in the field of urban ecology. She is a co-lead scientist for the Urban Silviculture Network, a long-term urban forest ecology network (the FRAME; FoRest Among Managed Ecosystems), and the American Residential Macrosystem project.
