Welcome!

Thank you for visiting our lab's webpage! In the Forest Disturbance Ecology Lab at Mississippi State University, we conduct applied and basic research to aid in the prevention and management of abiotic and biotic forest disturbances. We are based in the Department of Forestry within the College of Forest Resources at Mississippi State University and share lab space with Dr. Christine Fortuin’s lab (collectively, the Forest Disturbance, Insect, & Conservation Ecology [DICE] Lab). Please explore the lab website to learn more about us, our research and other activities, and how you could join the lab. Feel free to contact Dr. Ashley Schulz (ash.schulz@msstate.edu) if you would like more information or have questions.
