2022 Outstanding Associate Editor

Morgan Varner is Director of Research and Senior Scientist at Tall Timbers Research Station in Tallahassee, Florida. Morgan has served on the Editorial Board of Fire Ecology since 2012 and led several special issues on Fire in Eastern Oak Forests and Woodlands, Restoring Fire in Eastern Oak Savannas, and a current collection on "Life with Fire: Prescriptions for Resilience. Before Tall Timbers, Morgan was a research scientist with the USDA Forest Service's Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences Lab in Seattle, and a professor at Virginia Tech, Mississippi State, and Cal Poly- Humboldt. His research focuses on post-fire tree mortality, fire adapted traits in plants, and how we overcome impediments to prescribed fire.
Editor’s Note: Morgan has taken the role of Associate Editor of Fire Ecology to another level. By my unofficial count, he has reviewed over 35 papers and acted as Associate Editor on at least half of them since the journal’s inception. In addition, He is currently the co-organizer of three special collections. He has never turned down an assignment and has always given comprehensive reviews of the highest quality. If we were to look up the term “Associate Editor” in Wikipedia, we should find Morgan’s picture. Thank you Morgan for your hard work over the last two decades.
