ARRI SCIENCE TEAM
In March of 2005, the ARRI Science Team was established to ensure that the methods ARRI promotes are based on proven science and research, and to guarantee the continued scientific research into forestry reclamation.
The Science Team includes twenty-five active members representing ten prominent colleges and universities, The American Chestnut Foundation [TACF], the U.S. Geological Survey, and the U.S. Forest Service. Members consist of forest ecologists, silviculturalists, mining engineers, soil scientists, hydrologists, forest economists, forest physiologists, and forestry reclamation specialists. The Science Team provides scientific information on forestry reclamation and specific advice on selected tree planting projects.
The Science Team also authors and distributes a series of papers entitled Forest Reclamation Advisories. The purpose of these Advisories is to transfer information on forestry reclamation to the public in an easy to understand format. The Science Team Members and their contact information are listed below.
