Patrick Minogue

Dr. Patrick Minogue is an Associate Professor of Silviculture at the North Florida Research and Education Center, affiliated with the University of Florida's School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics Sciences. He also holds adjunct roles at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and collaborates with The Water Institute and UF School of Natural Resources and Environment. His work focuses on applied forest management, invasive species control, and sustainable forestry practices.

Research interests include silviculture best management practices (BMPs), alternative forest crops (e.g., pine straw, eucalyptus, tung oil), and ecological restoration. He disseminates findings through peer-reviewed journals, Extension programs, and conferences. Key areas of expertise involve herbicide efficacy, soil preparation techniques, and longleaf pine ecosystem restoration.

His publications emphasize practical solutions for forestry challenges, with recent work analyzing herbicide treatments for invasive species control, nitrogen cycling in pinestraw systems, and genetic improvement of eucalyptus species. Minogue actively supervises graduate students and chairs thesis committees, contributing to forestry education and workforce development.

Collaborations extend to interdisciplinary projects addressing water resource protection and agroforestry sustainability. He advises on BMP implementation for both commercial and conservation forestry operations, balancing ecological integrity with economic viability.
