Expertise
My research interests focus on understanding the effects of forest management practices and land-use history on forest biodiversity and ecosystem processes.
Additionally, I am investigating the capacity of native forest herb communities to reassemble in seral forests that have established after agricultural abandonment and am developing a regional citizen science program to actively restore native woodland herb communities to post-agricultural woodlands.
Expertise: cology, management and restoration of forest ecosystems; STEM education
