The National Field Soil Scientist Award

Dr. David D’Amore
Pacific Northwest Research Station, Anchorage, AK

Dr. D’Amore collaborated with land managers and researchers in his efforts to scientifically understand the cause of the devastating die-off of yellow-cedar in southeast Alaska and the development of an adaptive management strategy for yellow-cedar conservation and restoration.  He also advanced a mitigation strategy for carbon management in the carbon dense coastal temperate rainforest and developing mitigation strategies to limit exported carbon and nitrogen into aquatic ecosystems.  These accomplishments were achieved through extensive collaboration with land managers and numerous research facilities and researchers across the country.  Though resources have been limited, he was able to leverage those resources with partners to achieve common goals.
