We are a team of researchers interested in the management, conservation, and stewardship of biocultural resources and the ecosystems in which they are found.

What we do:
– Conduct research addressing current and emerging natural resource issues and challenges;
– Collaborate with diverse partners at the research-management interface to advance our understanding of ecological systems while informing management, stewardship, and restoration;
– Prepare, teach, and train the next generation of researchers, practitioners, and leaders able to understand, engage, and solve conservation and natural resource challenges across the globe.

How we work:
We utilize collaborative and participatory approaches in our research. Partnerships, co-production, and collaboration are key components of our process.

Were we work:
The Applied Plant Ecology Lab is located at the Union Experiment Station in northeastern Oregon (part of the Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center) at Oregon State University, but our projects span the globe.
