Stephen N. Matthews studies how climate change and disturbances like pests, fire, and land-use affect forests and their wildlife in North America, with a focus on the eastern United States and Appalachian region. His work combines species distribution modeling, remote sensing, and field-based ecology to predict shifts in tree species ranges, forest bird habitats, and forest composition, informing tools for forest management and assisted migration of tree species.
Publication output peaked around 2018 and has since become more variable, with a modest and fairly steady pace of a few papers per year over the last five years.
