State University, his Master of Science degree in Forestry/Plant Physiology
from the University of Minnesota and his Ph.D. in Tree Physiology/ Soil
Science from Oregon State University. He had held faculty positions at
Virginia Tech and the University of Florida before coming to WSU. He
oversaw the collection of Populus species, development and testing
of hybrid poplars for growth and disease resistance, manages clone arboreta
for breeding purposes, and conducts research on the production physiology
of fast growing species including poplars, alders and willows. He was most
recently researching the use of both hybrid poplars and black cottonwood in
riparian buffer plantings and carbon sequestration by hybrid poplar in the
Pacific Northwest. Dr. Johnson

Sound Lowlands to Determine Practices which Minimize Detrimental Effects on
Salmonids: A Proposal to Conduct Research under Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
U.S. Endangered Species Act. Dr. Dobrowolski was awarded a Fulbright
Senior Scholar fellowship for the academic year 1993-94, and awarded an
unprecedented Fulbright extension to continue his work in 1995. He was
selected by students at USU as the advisor and professor of the year for
the College of Natural Resources in 1989 and 1991, respectively.
Dobrowolski received the Outstanding Achievement Award from the Society for
Range Management for a career noteworthy in advancement of the science and
art of range management. He has published 49 professional papers, several
book chapters and is participating in the construction of two textbooks. He
was major professor to 20 graduate students, and Dobrowolski will graduate
one Ph.D. and one M.S. student in the coming year.
