The Forest and Rangeland Measurements Lab is
housed in the College of Natural Resources at the
University of Idaho.The lab focuses on all aspects of
ecological and environmental measurements from traditional forest inventory
and biometrics to experiments to understand combustion dynamics.
Research Focus Areas Include:
"Until you can measure something and express it in
numbers, you have only the beginning of understanding"
Lord Kelvin

Measurements are at the
core of all ecosystem based sciences, whether we are conducting a
traditional forest inventory to model the growth and yield of a given species, evaluating the habitat type of an endangered species in a rangeland,
or understanding the process of combustion in decayed fuels.
Regardless of of goal, it is essential to use appropriate
measurement and sampling methods.
