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.
