My research focuses on the invasion of
the annual grass Bromus tectorum at the ecotone of
the Great Basin Desert and eastern Sierra Nevada. My interests
fall into three main categories: 1) The impact of snow depth
and interannual climate variability on B. tectorum
populations, 2) The facilitative influence of native shrubs
on B. tectorum, and 3) The role of phenotypic plasticity
and local adaptation between native and introduced populations
of B. tectorum. |
