Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Maureen R. McClung's research investigates the complex interactions between human activities and natural ecosystems, with a particular focus on ecosystem services. Her work has examined the ecological and economic benefits derived from the restoration of non-producing oil and gas lands in the United States. She has also studied the valuation of ecosystem services related to electricity generation in desert environments and the comprehensive valuation of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

McClung's research also addresses biodiversity patterns, including how gentrification influences urban diversity and the impacts of climate change on butterfly populations across North America. Her recent work has explored the disturbance of waterbirds by noise pollution in Arkansas wetlands and the ecosystem services provided by the Buffalo National River. She has published 29 papers, with an h-index of 13 and 593 total citations.
