Publications – Erin Hall

Erin undertakes research that includes complex stand dynamics, ecosystem and habitat dynamics, mixedwood and broadleaf management, and alternative silviculture systems.  She also has experience studying ecosystem recovery, fire ecology, and developing the model SORTIE-ND for the SBS and ICH.  She has worked on numerous projects at the Date Creek Long Term Silviculture Systems Study.
