Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Maureen R. McClung's research investigates the ecological and economic valuation of ecosystem services, with a focus on how environmental changes and human development impact natural landscapes. Her work includes studies on the effects of climate change on butterfly populations, the benefits derived from restoring former oil and gas lands, and the valuation of electricity generation's ecosystem services in desert environments. McClung has also examined the impacts of renewable energy development on desert ecosystems and assessed the ecosystem services provided by protected areas like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Buffalo National River.
Her recent publications also address urban ecology, exploring how gentrification influences urban biodiversity. Further research delves into the disturbance effects of human activities, such as simulated road traffic noise on waterbirds in Arkansas wetlands. McClung's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13, with 29 total publications and 588 citations. She has collaborated with researchers from Hendrix College and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
