My research focuses on
understanding the mechanisms by which dominant species arise and
subsequently affect ecosystem processes.
This makes the investigation of exotic plant invasion a
central component of my research.
Accordingly, I am also very interested in understanding the
ecological basis for, and subsequent effects of, restoring diverse
native plant communities.
Within this broad area, I am particularly interested in
belowground ecology, and I try to bring a systems-based perspective
to my research questions.
I also put considerable effort into providing
international-educational experiences for both graduate and
undergraduate students.
