Ecology Interests
Dr. Tilman states that his passion with ecology stems from his love for both math and biology, and ecology is a field that allows him to express both together along with his love for the outdoors. Ecology and more specifically conservation ecology is a science that revolves around protecting the Earth’s biological diversity, whether it be at the species or ecosystem level. His work explores how both natural and managed ecosystems can be used to meet the needs of humans, whether it be for food, energy, or ecosystem services. Dr. Tilman has performed several studies to further determine the usefulness of grasslands for utilization in biofuel.
