Tracey N. Johnson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Fish & Wildlife Sciences and Director of Research at the Rinker Rock Creek Ranch, University of Idaho. She holds a Ph.D. in Wildlife Science from Oregon State University (2011), an M.S. in Biology from Kansas State University (2006), and a B.S. in Psychology from Texas A&M University (2001). Her research focuses on wildlife habitat ecology, population dynamics, and the impacts of disturbances like grazing and climate change on ecosystems. Key areas include avian ecology, sagebrush-steppe restoration, and wildlife-grazing interactions.
Her work bridges applied ecology and conservation, addressing challenges in rangeland management, avian habitat conservation, and ecosystem resilience. Notable projects include studying greater sage-grouse habitat use, evaluating grazing strategies in mesic meadows, and assessing ecological responses to pinyon-juniper encroachment. She has contributed to outreach initiatives on bark beetle impacts and sagebrush restoration in Grand Teton National Park.
Dr. Johnson’s research emphasizes practical solutions for balancing ecological health and human land use. She teaches courses such as Wildland Habitat Ecology, Riparian Ecology, and Integrated Field Studies in Rangelands. Her work has been recognized with the Savery Distinguished Doctoral Student Award (2010).
