Research
Interests
- Ecology of invasive exotic plant
species in tropical and warm temperate forests.
- Evaluating exotic plant species for
their impacts and risks to native communities.
- Ecosystem and population dynamic
processes associated with disturbance to natural ecosystems,
especially tropical rain forests and warm temperate forests
- Effects of the changing hydrology on
nutrient processes and forest dynamics in bottomland hardwood forests
of southeastern U.S.
- Consequences of seed dispersal and
seedling establishment patterns to the population dynamics of forest
trees and shrubs
