SUMMARY:Weaver Lecture & Reception
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment’s Weaver Lecture Series proudly presents a lecture by Arun Agrawal\, Pulte Family Professor and founding director of the Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative in the Keough School of Global Affairs at The University of Notre Dame. Agrawal\, who is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences\, will give a lecture titled “Transformative Change and Global Sustainability” on Tuesday\, Feb. 18\, 2025\, at 2 p.m.\, immediately followed by a reception at the Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment Building located at 602 Duncan Drive\, Auburn\, Ala. \nLecture Title: Transformative Change and Global Sustainability \nLecture Abstract: As the calamities of climate change\, biodiversity loss and sociopolitical polarization gather pace\, researchers and decision-makers are calling for transformative change. Global sustainability remains a chimera without transformative change\, especially in preventing biodiversity loss and nature’s decline. Drawing upon three years of work by more than 80 scientists from 30 countries\, Agrawal’s lecture will define and characterize transformative change and examine the role of visions\, scenarios and action theories in achieving it. It will also assess some of the most promising strategies and options that may lead to transformative change for achieving the vision of the 2050 Global Biodiversity Framework.\n\nSpeaker Biography: Arun Agrawal is the Pulte Family Professor and founding director of the Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative in the Keough School of Global Affairs at The University of Notre Dame. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences. Agrawal’s research focuses broadly on the political economy of resource governance and development with a particular focus on commons and commoning. His recent research interests concern the relationship of climate change with health and conflict. Agrawal’s instructional interests concern social action and change. \nWeaver Lecture Series Seminar\nThe Weaver Lecture Series was established in 1996 through an endowment provided by Earl H. and Sandra H.

SUMMARY:2025 CFWE Seminar Series — Vic Adamowicz
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER: Dr. Vic Adamowicz\, University of Alberta\, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus \nTITLE: Measuring the impact of a wildlife disease on hunting behavior through recreational lottery applications: The case of Chronic Wasting Disease in Alberta\, Canada \nABSTRACT: If an environmental quality change affects a resource allocated using a lottery-rationing system\, activity levels (e.g. trips) may remain constant while applications vary. This presentation will describe our analysis using multiple reduced-form models to examine the impact of a wildlife disease on application behavior in a lottery rationed resource. We use hunting license application data for antlered mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in Alberta\, Canada from 2001 to 2022 and examine the impact of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). CWD is a 100% fatal prion disease and has the potential to diminish cervid populations (i.e. deer\, moose\, elk\, and caribou) and affect various segments of society including recreational hunters. Our findings show that increasing CWD prevalence reduces demand for hunting applications but the pattern of impact suggests a complex behavioral response to the disease. The presentation will also include a description of complementary analyses that are components of an interdisciplinary approach to addressing CWD in Alberta. Dr. Adamowicz will also discuss contemporary academic research issues in forestry\, natural resources and the environment in Canada. \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Vic Adamowicz is a Distinguished University Professor Emeritus in the Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology at the University of Alberta where he has made significant contributions to the fields of environmental economics and natural resource management. He obtained his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from the University of Alberta (1981\, 1983) and his doctorate from the University of Minnesota in 1988. Throughout his career\, Dr. Adamowicz’s research has focused on the valuation of environmental goods and services\, as well as the economic analysis of natural resource policies and choice behavior with applications to food demand\, recreation\, and environmental quality. His work has helped shape the understanding of how economic principles can be applied to sustainability and resource conservation. With numerous published studies and a long-standing commitment to academic excellence\, Dr. Adamowicz has earned recognition as a leading figure in his field. His distinguished career includes not only impactful research\, but also mentorship of graduate students and collaborative efforts with government agencies and industry partners to address pressing environmental challenges. Dr. Adamowicz is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, Academy II – Social Sciences (awarded in 2007). He became a Fellow of the Association of Agricultural and Applied Economics in 2025. \nEVENT DETAILS: Faculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required. Refreshments will be available. Parking is available on the third and fourth floors in the South Quad Parking Deck across from the CFWE Building on Duncan Drive. To receive announcements about future seminars\, request to join our email list at cfwecom@auburn.edu. \nContact the seminar host Yaoqi Zhang at zhangy3@auburn.edu or Robert Gitzen at rag0012@auburn.edu if you would like to request a recorded version of the seminar.

SUMMARY:2024 Fall Seminar Series — Avni Malhotra
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER: Avni Malhotra\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory \nTITLE: Getting to the Root of Climate Change in Wetlands \nABSTRACT: Wetlands play a central role in the global carbon cycle through soil carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions. Wetland response to environmental change is expected to influence the global climate-carbon cycle feedback\, but the magnitude and direction of this influence are unclear. One uncertainty lies at the plant-soil interface. The role of plants in mediating wetland carbon cycling is well understood aboveground\, but belowground plant dynamics remain a black box. In this talk\, I will focus on two broad research questions: how do wetland roots respond to environmental change and what are the implications of this change for soil carbon and ecosystem carbon fluxes? I will provide examples from field and lab research from a variety of wetland settings (peatlands\, and experimental and coastal wetlands) and conclude with a forward-looking section on our predictive understanding of wetlands in a changing world. \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: Avni Malhotra is an earth scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory focused on above- and below-ground carbon cycle responses of ecosystems to global change\, with the overarching goal of improving predictive understanding of ecosystems. Avni specializes in carbon-rich ecosystems such as peatlands and wetlands\, which are a globally significant but vulnerable sink of carbon\, and key players in global greenhouse gas budgets. She employs a multi-scale approach where fine-scale process investigations in the lab and field are placed in a broader context using global data syntheses and model-data integration. \nEVENT DETAILS: Faculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required. Refreshments will be available after the seminar. Parking is available on the third and fourth floors in the South Quad Parking Deck across from the CFWE Building on Duncan Drive.

SUMMARY:2024 Fall Seminar Series — Heidi Renninger
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER: Heidi Renninger\, College of Forest Resources\, Mississippi State University \nTITLE: Selecting Populus short rotation woody crops for future climates and ecosystem service provision  \nABSTRACT: Populus species\, specifically eastern cottonwood and its hybrids\, are grown for a variety of products but most recently as feedstocks for bioenergy (including sustainable aviation fuels) and bioproducts. Dr. Renninger will discuss her research on the physiological functioning of selected Populus genotypes specifically as it relates to choosing genotypes with greater water stress and heat tolerance as well as measuring the ecosystem services provided by Populus plantations. \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Renninger grew up in Pennsylvania and did her undergraduate studies at Millersville University majoring in Biology. She then went to Oregon State University for her masters in the Wood Science and Engineering Department with a dual degree in Wood Science and Forest Science. She studied the hydraulic conductivity of Douglas-fir and western hemlock and factors that relate to conductivity. She then pursued a PhD at Boston University in the Geography Department. Her dissertation research used palm trees as a model organism to test the hydraulic limitation hypothesis\, which is the idea that maximum tree height for a given species is limited by the increasing path length for water transport as trees get taller. She then did a post-doc at Rutgers University working in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey and studying forest responses to disturbance. Dr. Renninger started at Mississippi State University in 2014\, where she does a variety of tree physiological research. \nEVENT DETAILS: Faculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program.

SUMMARY:2024 Fall Seminar Series — Feng Zhang
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER: Dr. Feng Zhang\, Executive Director\, College of Ecology\, Lanzhou University\, Gansu Province\, China \nTITLE: Impact of Agricultural Mulching on Crop Yields\, Soil Carbon\, and Greenhouse Gas Emission \nABSTRACT: In this presentation\, the speaker will explore how agricultural mulching influences crop yields\, soil carbon dynamics\, and greenhouse gas emissions\, drawing on findings from both field experiments and modeling studies. The insights will span from farmland-level analyses to regional assessments. \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Zhang Feng specializes in monitoring and modeling greenhouse gas emissions and ecosystem dynamics. His research utilizes eddy covariance and chamber approaches to measure atmospheric constituents like carbon dioxide methane nitrous oxide and water and he integrates these observations into ecosystem models. Dr. Zhang developed the Paralleled DeNitrification-DeComposition (PDNDC) model which simulates biogeochemical processes in agro-ecosystems focusing on greenhouse gas emissions and sequestration. His work also involves quantifying ecosystem services such as soil organic carbon yield and nitrogen leaching to improve field management practices across diverse climates and soils. By integrating remote sensing data meta-analyses and artificial intelligence Dr. Zhang’s research aims to understand the impacts of climate change and human activities on agricultural ecosystems. \nEVENT DETAILS: Faculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required. Refreshments will be available after the seminar. Parking is available on the third and fourth floors in the South Quad Parking Deck across from the CFWE Building on Duncan Drive.
