RESEARCH
Our research is focused on restoration ecology and land reclamation.
We use a wide range of laboratory, greenhouse, and field approaches to answer questions about plant and soil ecology as it relates to restoration, the effects of human disturbance on plants and soil, and how different land management strategies can promote restoration and conservation objectives.
