Burnell C. Fischer studies urban forests and green spaces\within cities, examining how trees, forest patches, and stream corridors are managed and how they contribute to community and environmental health. Much of the work uses case studies from U.S. cities (such as Bloomington and Indianapolis, Indiana) to explore tree-planting programs, climate change adaptation, and the social and institutional factors that shape urban forestry.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
