Robert G. Wagner's research focuses on forest management in the northeastern United States, particularly Maine, examining how practices like commercial thinning and partial harvesting affect tree growth, survival, and forest regeneration. His work also looks at longer-term changes in forest composition linked to climate and studies factors influencing natural forest regeneration in managed, mixed-species forests. This research is generally aimed at informing sustainable forestry practices for species such as spruce, fir, beech, and maple.
Publication output was more active around 2017-2018 but has slowed considerably in recent years, with little to no output from 2023 through 2025.
