University of Michigan Ecosystem Dynamics and Modeling Group

The University of Michigan Ecosystem Dynamics and Modeling Group studies how natural environments like forests, wetlands, and grasslands function and change over time. They use computer models and data to understand processes such as plant growth, animal populations, water cycles, and climate impacts. Their work helps predict future ecological conditions, guide conservation efforts, and inform sustainable land management. Essentially, they blend science and technology to better understand complex ecosystems and support their preservation.
