My interest lie in the causes and consequences of long-term change in natural plant communities and the influence of current and past land-uses on meta-community dynamics. To do so, I use a range of tools and techniques - including historical, landscape, and physiological ecology to tackle applied problems in ecological conservation. Finally, I see research as an integral part of service and I strive to work with regional land managers to direct my research directly toward the goal of active restoration, management and conservation of local ecological communities.
