Ms. Lee, ENTRIX Senior Consultant and Senior Economist, partnered with two of her colleagues to write "Managing Invasive Plants on Public Conservation Forestlands: Application of a Bio-economic Model".  The article was recently published in the Journal of Forest Policy Economics, an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles linking forest ecology with the management of forest resources.  The article resulted from a grant research project, in which Ms. Lee was a co-investigator, that dealt with the economics of managing invasive species in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the US Caribbean, Florida, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico.

Ms. Lee came up with a draft conceptual model for the invasive species problem in 2005 and finished the results and draft of the manuscript in 2006.  The draft was then put on hold.  In 2008, her and her colleagues resurrected the manuscript and submitted it to the Journal of Forest Policy Economics.  In response to favorable viewer comments, the team then prepared a revised version and resubmitted it to the journal in Feb. 2009.  The manuscript was accepted for publication in March 2009 and published in July 2009. 

Ms. Lee holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of California-Davis and a BS in Biology of Natural Resources from the University of California-Berkeley.
