Adam Mahood is a post-doc at the USDA-ARS, Fort Collins. He focuses on two things: broad-scale fire ecology research at the continental to global scale, and the response of plant communities to fire using remote sensing data to guide the collection of data on the ground. Adam got his undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota in conservation biology in 2004, and his master’s degree at CU in 2017 in geography. In between, he worked seasonally for many years for anyone that would pay him to look at plants - usually the National Park Service. When he is not behind his computer, he enjoys biking, rock climbing, keying out plants and perfecting the art of cooking beet greens.
His favorite paper that he wrote is:
Mahood, A. L., & Balch, J. K. (2019). Repeated fires reduce plant diversity in low-elevation Wyoming big sagebrush ecosystems (1984 – 2014). Ecosphere, 10(2), e02591. https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.
