Research

My research integrates observational studies of plant populations and communities, experiments ranging from small-scale greenhouse manipulations to landscape-scale fire treatments, and rigorous quantitative methods to address a variety of questions in population biology, community ecology, and conservation biology. My current postdoctoral research investigates the density-dependent effects of fire on plant reproduction and the demographic processes underlying plant community responses to fire in fragmented tallgrass prairie.
