Abstract: | |
The Western Ecology Division (WED) is one of four ecological effects divisions of the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory. WED's mission is 1) to provide EPA with national scientific leadership for terrestrial and regional-scale ecology, and 2) to develop the scientific basis for assessing the condition and response of ecological resources of the western United States and the Pacific Coast.
WED's research approach comprises two aspects: 1) developing an understanding of the structure and function of ecological systems, and 2) conducting holistic analyses of ecological phenomena at the ecosystem, landscape, and regional scales. The laboratory conducts research on and assesses the effects of pollutants and other human stresses on inland ecological systems, including plant and wildlife populations; soils and other microbial systems; forests, grasslands, and agricultural systems; wetlands; watersheds; and regional landscapes. Key scientific disciplines include: terrestrial biology, aquatic biology, marine biology, ecology, geography, statistics, microbiology, soil science, plant science, biogeochemistry, plant physiology, landscape ecology, and oceanography.
