European Forest Genetic Resources Programme highlights Project CAPTURE

Posted onJanuary 15, 2020

Tree species face increasingly serious threats to their genetic integrity, including insect and disease infestation and climate change. At the same time, governments and their partners have limited resources to conserve and manage forest tree genetic diversity. To address this Read More …

Hello, I’m Kevin Potter. I work to conserve natural ecosystems, and the services they provide, in a rapidly changing world.

I aim to advance knowledge about the integrity of forests and tree species, and to inform management and decision-making for these important resources.

To do this, I apply tools provided by the disciplines of landscape ecology, conservation biology, and statistics.

From 2007 to 2022, I was a research professor of forestry at North Carolina State University. I work closely with the Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center of the U.S. Forest Service.

Please see my Research page for more details about what I do.
