Richard Waring
Professor emeritus with Oregon State University

My early work dealt with describing the distribution and growth of forest vegetation in relation to measured environmental gradients. In the 1980s, my interest turned toward ecosystems. More recently, my research has focused on modeling forest growth and biodiversity under changing climates, along...
