Bruggeman awarded $1.8 million from Department of Defense for Landscape Equivalency Analysis(LEA) research on military lands in the U.S. Southeast: Congratulations to Dr. Doug Bruggeman (FW Visiting Assistant Professor and former PhD student) and co-pi Mike Jones for receiving a 5 year, $1.8 million grant from DoD’s Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP). The project grew from Doug’s dissertation on landscape-scale approaches to habitat trading and his collaboration with Thorsten Wiegand at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Leipzig, Germany. Together, they have devised an approach to incorporate uncertainty analysis into habitat trading decisions for endangered species that behave as metapopulations. The goals of LEA is to identify habitat trades that are economically viable and meet conservation goals in a patchy landscape. The research will focus on red-cockaded woodpeckers and gopher tortoises.
