Welcome to the Forest Biology Research Center

The overarching mission of the Forest Biology Research Center (FBRC) of the John Muir Institute of the Environment at UC Davis is to foster research and graduate education in Forest Biology. UC Davis is uniquely positioned to conduct research and graduate education in Forest Biology due to its proximity to the Sierra and Coastal Mountain forest ecosystems and its faculty expertise in all aspects of Forest Biology. The FBRC currently has a membership of 24 UC Davis faculty and affiliated members from the US Forest Service. The FBRC offers a core course entitled “Introduction to Forest Biology,” whose offerings are listed here: Introduction to Forest Biology. For more information about the FBRC, please contact David Neale.
