Eric K. Zenner is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management at Penn State University. He holds a Ph.D. in Quantitative Forest Ecology from Oregon State University. His academic interests include forest structure, old-growth forests, uneven-aged management, natural regeneration, vascular community ecology, and forest-wildlife interactions. His primary research focuses on linking forest structure with understory-overstory dynamics and biodiversity, particularly examining how partial disturbances affect post-disturbance establishment dynamics within forest ecosystems. He has been involved in developing and testing hypotheses related to ecological processes that influence forest management practices aimed at meeting societal goals. As a graduate faculty member of the Forestry program at Penn State, he teaches courses including Applied Forest Ecology: Silviculture, Forest Ecosystem Management, and Advanced Silviculture. Throughout his career, he has contributed to numerous significant publications that address various aspects of forest ecology and management.
