Research Interests
To better understand vegetation dynamics, restoration ecology, and
plant/soil interactions and to determine the effect on native plant communities in relation to anthropogenic
processes such as biological invasion or altered fire disturbance regimes. Techniques include using dendrochronology, spatial field methods, soil analysis, and vegetation identification to determine community structure, fire regimes, population dynamics, land use change effects, and soil characteristics in a wide range of plant communities, such as Arizona and Wisconsin riparian woodlands, Colorado montane grasslands, Arizona mixed-conifer and Northern Wisconsin conifer forests, old-growth deciduous forests, oak/ponderosa pine associations, and the oak savanna landscape.
