Ecological forecasting research team crosses ecosystem boundaries

Virginia Tech researchers in the Center for Ecosystem Forecasting are expanding their efforts to include terrestrial-freshwater dynamics. The center research team recently received a $1 million, four-year National Science Foundation grant to better understand how natural hazards impact the forest and soils that control the water quality that ends up in drinking water reservoirs.
