Research Interests

Broadly, I am interested in applied research related to plant ecology, restoration, as well as carbon and nutrient cycling, particularly in wetland ecosystems.  I tend to ask questions at the intersection of community and ecosystem ecology, aiming to advance solutions to how we manage communities to promote diverse and functional ecosystems.
