Dr. Roon and his
coauthors have been using foodweb models to
understand how changing fire disturbance regimes
could impact aquatic life with an emphasis on fish.
Tune in to learn how fire can negatively and positively
impact fish and their habitats!
Brendan is joined by Dr. Dave Roon from
Oregon State University to discuss his work on
modelling the effects of wildfire on fish and aquatic
habitats in the Pacific North West.
