Welcome to the Applied Plant Ecology lab at Chico State!

We are part of the Geological and Environmental Sciences Department, in the College of Natural Sciences.  I work with undergraduate students majoring in Environmental Science - Applied Ecology option and with graduate students in the M.S. in Environmental Sciences degree.  The research we do answers questions that will inform management decisions.  Broadly, I am a plant ecologist interested in disturbance and restoration ecology, predominantly in wetland and riparian ecosystems.  

My research interests: plant ecology, disturbance interactions, landscape ecology, community ecology, wetland and riparian ecology, fire ecology, trophic interactions, restoration ecology, GIS
