Research Profile

Studies the productivity and sustainability of tree-based ecosystems including factors such as stand age and development, nutrient and water availability, response to disturbance, and optimizing management. Research interests include understanding the controls of carbon balance through stand development in fast-growing plantations, how variation in resources affect regeneration of native species and invasion by alien species in New England forests, and how soil parent material affects soil chemistry and thus plant species distribution and community composition.

Research Profile

Research focuses on identifying factors affecting variation in mammal density and distribution, natural history and population ecology. Monitoring studies document movements, habitat use, food habits, survival, reproduction, social behavior, and density. Develop survey studies to assess distribution and relative abundance and better understand the roles of disease, genetics, nutrition, morphology, and human activities in population regulation and species conservation.
