Narrative:
Dr. Schultz's research interests
are in restoration ecology and watershed management. He is the
leader of the Agroecology Issue Team of the Leopold Center for
Sustainable Agriculture. This team is developing riparian management
systems that improve stream water quality and terrestrial and
aquatic habitat by using multi-species riparian buffers, stream
bank bioengineering, in-stream structures, constructed wetlands,
and intensively managed riparian grazing best management practices
to reduce non-point source pollution. Dr. Schultz's specific
interests in these practices include soil and plant interactions
to improve soil quality and hydrologic processes.
