Dr. Carrie Adams researches restoration of degraded ecosystems, and particularly the transition from invasive species dominance to native species establishment. Through collaboration with ecologists in other disciplines and cooperation with land managers, her work focuses on scaling-up experimental manipulations to become application in natural resource management. Dr. Adams is affiliated with the Water Resources Institute, the School for Natural Resources and the Environment, and teaches courses on ecological restoration in her home department of Environmental Horticulture and for the School of Forest Resources and Conservation.
