Additional Information
My research focuses on plant succession, or the change in plant community composition over time periods from years to millenia. I specialize in working on primary plant succession, where there is little or no biological legacy following a disturbance (e.g., floodplains, glacial moraines, mine tailings, volcanoes). I also study the disturbances that trigger succession and the manipulation of succession in restoration activities.
