The Ag-Urban Landscape Ecology Lab conducts research in the Cleveland Pocket Prairies and other urban landscapes. These research studies help identify which management strategies provide ecosystem services, a measure of the environment’s value and contributions to our health and well-being.
Some examples of ecosystem services include:
- pollination
- water infiltration
- pest and disease control
- climate regulation
These services directly impact our ability to produce food, have safe drinking water, clean air, and healthy soil.
