Current Research:
My current interest is uniting the technology of production horticulture with
ecological expertise in the installation and management of restored systems.
My research has been in the Pacific Northwest, Hudson Bay Lowlands, salt desert
systems of the Intermountain West, thornscrub of southern and central Texas
and northern Mexico and in coastal Louisiana. I have worked on the community
ecology and ecophysiology of plants in these environments.
