Dr. Robert Beschta - Wolves Effects on Plant Populatons

In this interview with Dr. Robert Beschta, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society at Oregon State University, Dr. Beschta discusses his research studies related to terrestrial trophic cascades in riparian and upland ecosystems. This effort included studies in several national parks in the western U.S. and Canada as well as the Apache National Forest in Arizona. However, most of his research efforts since the early 2000s have focused on the trophic effects of Yellowstone’s wolves on plant communities in the park’s northern range.
