Dr. David Carter
Assistant Professor, Applied Forest Ecology & Silviculture
Introducing new faculty member Dr. David Carter, Assistant Professor of Applied Forest Ecology and Silviculture in the Department of Forestry. His previous work allowed him to work in oak-hickory systems in the Midwest, mixed hardwood and softwood systems of the Northeast, Douglas-fir forests in the Pacific Northwest, Appalachian hardwood forests and loblolly pine in the southeast. A native Midwesterner, he is excited to be at Michigan State University, researching the forests that got him interested in forestry 20 years ago. His interests include silvicultural restoration, ecological silviculture, precision forestry, and preparing the forest resource for global change.
