1.
Build an understanding of how dryland ecosystems "work"
We study how plants, animals, and soil interact in drylands, and how these interactions will change with disturbance and restoration.
2.
Translate science into on-the-ground management tools
We work with stakeholders to translate our findings into effective management practices.
3.
Build relationships and synergies between people, management, and ecosystem health
We see drylands as a part of a bigger system, so we work to build connections between ecosystems and society.
