Ecosystems and Landscapes
Studying the interactions between organisms and their environments
UMCES scientists explore the complex interactions between organisms and their environments across broad spatial scales, from local watersheds to entire continents. They help us better understand how changes to natural processes and human activities—such as urbanization, agriculture, and land-use changes—impact ecosystem health and biodiversity.
Meet the Researchers
Using well-established and novel tools, from advanced mapping with satellites, field observations, laboratory experiments, and predictive modeling, researchers develop strategies to restore degraded habitats and manage forests, fields, and urban areas for long-term sustainability.
