Mac Callaham is a Research Ecologist with the USDA Forest Service’s Southern Research Station in Athens, Georgia. He has 25 years’ experience of working in soil ecology with projects ranging from agroecology to ecotoxicology to grassland and forest restoration and management. Following graduate school at Kansas State University, he held post-doctoral positions at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (2000-01), and with the USDA Forest Service at Clemson University (2001-03). In 2005, Callaham became a Team Leader within the Center for Forest Disturbance Science, a unit of the Forest Service’s Southern Research Station
In 2005, Callaham was awarded the Southern Research Station Director’s Award for Early Career Scientists. Having long been interested in international research, Callaham was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in 2010 to participate in research in southern Brazil with a focus on restoration of Atlantic rai
- Incudes a chapter on climate change and novel ecosystems, thus collating the perspective of soil scientists and ecologists on this consequential and controversial topic
- Connects science to international policy and practice
- Includes summaries at the end of each chapter to elucidate principles and key points
