Research

Ashley Larsen’s research interests center on the ecology of managed systems. Her research combines insights from ecology with causal inference and geospatial tools to better understand how to produce the necessary food and fiber for a growing population while maintaining healthy ecological communities. Her current projects focus on the landscape determinants of ecosystem services and disservices, particularly related to agricultural pests and pesticides, the biodiversity impacts of agricultural intensification, and the ecological drivers and impacts of land use transitions.
