Research Interests / Specializations:

Rangeland conservation and management: http://nature.berkeley.edu/huntsingerlab-wp/

Research Description:

Ecology and management of rangeland ecosystems, particularly co-production of environmental benefits and agricultural goods through working landscapes and the role of managers and users as critical actors. Within this context, the consequences for people and the environment of the way that science is interpreted and used in management.

Ongoing studies include research on oak woodland landowners and management in California and Spain, land fragmentation and conservation in oak woodlands, and evaluating ecosystem services from conservation easements. I continue to pursue lines of inquiry and theory I have found useful to my work: ecological models for disequilibrium systems as tools to understand the linkages between human relationships and ecological change; work in political ecology found ed in basic notions of who (or what) wins and who (or what) loses in disputes over access to natural resources.
