Overview

Margaret M. Moore is affiliated with Northern Arizona University in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science with a strong emphasis on understanding ecological and environmental dynamics through multidisciplinary approaches.

Their main fields of study include Environmental Science with subfields covering Global and Planetary Change, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecology, Environmental Engineering, and Atmospheric Science. This broad scope reflects a detailed engagement with both the natural environment and technical aspects of environmental analysis.

The research topics that form the core of Moore's work are diverse and include:

  • Fire effects on ecosystems
  • Rangeland and Wildlife Management
  • Forest ecology and management
  • Remote Sensing and LiDAR Applications
  • Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
  • Tree-ring climate responses
  • Species Distribution and Climate Change

Moore has contributed to multiple scientific publications and is a coauthor of several recent papers, covering a range of ecological and environmental studies. Notable recent papers include:

  • "The Net Effect of Functional Traits on Fitness," 2020, Trends in Ecology & Evolution
  • "Soil properties and climate drive ponderosa pine seedling presence in the southwestern USA," 2021, Forest Ecology and Management
  • "Cover and density of southwestern ponderosa pine understory plants in permanent chart quadrats (2002-2020)," 2022, Ecology
  • "Forest restoration treatments increased growth and did not change survival of ponderosa pines in severe drought, Arizona," 2022, Ecological Applications
  • "Carbon and ecohydrological priorities in managing woody encroachment: UAV perspective 63 years after a control treatment," 2021, Environmental Research Letters

The scientist collaborates frequently with peers including Daniel C. Laughlin, Peter Z. Fulé, Andrew J. Sánchez Meador, Judith D. Springer, and David W. Huffman. Such collaborations suggest a networked approach within the fields of forest ecology, environmental research, and conservation science.

Frequent publication venues for Moore's work include Forest Service Research Data Archive, Forest Ecology and Management, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Trends in Ecology & Evolution, and Ecology. This variety of venues reflects contributions to both data-driven repositories and peer-reviewed journals specializing in ecology and environmental sciences.
