John S. King
Associate Professor
Education:
B.S. Environmental Science, Stockton State College (1985)
M.S. Forest Ecology, Duke University (1991)
Ph.D. Forest Ecophysiology, Duke University (1997)
Research Interests:
Assessing how the cycling and storage of carbon and water in forested ecosystems are influenced by climate variability, management, genetics, and the interaction of biotic and abiotic stresses; effects of climate warming, drought stress and sea-level rise on forest productivity and resilience to insects and other pests; potential productivity and sustainability of short-rotation woody cropping systems for bioenergy.
In 2011, Dr. King is on sabbatical with the PLECO research group, University of Antwerp, Belgium
