Research Interest:
Landscape ecology of terrestrial ecosystems; effects of climate
change on communities, ecosystems, and disturbance regimes;
disturbance dynamics and interactions (especially fire and
insects); plant/forest succession; forest ecology and stand
dynamics; carbon cycling in forests; invasive species; ecosystem
restoration; plant species-site relationships; ecological
land classification; cross-discipline collaboration. Current
projects include measuring landscape-level carbon cycling
field work in Yellowstone, and examining aspen decline across
the northern Front Range of Colorado.
