Carly Ziter

Carly Ziter is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Concordia University, researching landscape ecology and urban ecosystems during rapid global urbanization. Her work examines ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation, and sustainability in multifunctional landscapes.

Research focuses on:

• Urban green space functionality and design
• Forest ecology in anthropogenic landscapes
• Land-use legacy impacts
• Biodiversity-ecosystem service relationships

Recent publications demonstrate strong emphasis on urban forest management, green infrastructure assessment, and reconciling conservation goals with human recreational needs across diverse geographic contexts. Studies frequently employ multi-city comparisons and examine microclimate regulation services.
