Research Interests

I am interested in multiple-factor effects on forest community dynamics. My current research focuses on the effects of an exotic introduced disease (beech bark disease), the ice storm of 1998, and the legacies of land-use history. Of particular interest is how these factors interact with each other to affect not only the species composition of the current forest but also regeneration patterns, which will determine future forest composition.
