Research Interests: 

I am interested in looking at the effects of natural and anthropogenic disturbances (fire, grazing, atmospheric deposition) on plant community structure and dynamics in grasslands.  Most of my current research is going on at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge as part of the Sevilleta LTER program, though I am also involved in a post-wildfire monitoring program in the Manzano Mountains.
