Biography
I am a community and ecosystem ecologist with an interest in the study of grasslands and wetlands. I investigate basic research questions in plant ecology as well as applied science for land management. To understand the processes that control plant communities and ecosystem processes, I take an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach.
