Overview

Richard P. Guyette is affiliated with the University of Missouri in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on Environmental Science, with particular attention to several subfields including Global and Planetary Change, Ecology, Nature and Landscape Conservation, and Atmospheric Science.

Their work centers on multiple main topics of study:

  • Fire effects on ecosystems
  • Rangeland and Wildlife Management
  • Seedling growth and survival studies
  • Tree-ring climate responses
  • Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics

Guyette has contributed to recent peer-reviewed literature with two papers focused on fire ecology and red pine ecosystems. These publications are:

  • "Red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) fire history and management implications in the Mississippi River headwaters, Minnesota, USA," published in 2021 in Forest Ecology and Management
  • "Historical fire regimes from red pines (Pinus resinosa Ait.) across the Tension Zone in the Lower Peninsula, Michigan USA," published in 2024 in Fire Ecology

The scientist frequently collaborates with a number of coauthors, including:

  • Michael C. Stambaugh
  • Erin R. Abadir
  • Joseph M. Marschall
  • Daniel C. Dey
  • Brian J. Palik

Guyette's work often appears in venues specializing in environmental and fire ecology such as Forest Ecology and Management and Fire Ecology.
