... Dr. Davis' current research focuses on the landscape ecology of California plant communities; the design and monitoring of protected-area networks; multi-objective planning tools for rangeland and farmland conservation; and the biological implications of regional climate change in the western United States.
From page 306...
... Dr. Boggess served as a member of the NRC Committee on the Use of Treated Municipal Wastewater Effluents and Sludge in the Production of Crops for Human Consumption, and on the second Committee on Independent Scientific Review of Everglades Restoration Progress.
