Bio/Research

My research focuses on the interactions between plants and human dominated landscapes. These are often disturbed and far from equilibrium. At the same time, the same biophysical processes that operate under more natural conditions undoubtedly operate under these conditions as well. How do plant communities function under these extreme conditions and how do they exert an influence on their local environments? With adequate understanding of these interactions, we can design and manipulate plant communities to maintain a modicum of ecosystem function and provide ecosystem services to humans.
