Research
My research is focused on understanding interactions of boreal forest understory ericaceous dwarf shrubs and feather mosses with each other, tree seedlings, and with soil processes, during forest development. The nature of research is both fundamental and applied with the aim of understanding plant-plant, plant-soil, and plant-microbe interactions, and the direct and indirect abiotic and biotic drivers of these relationships when environmental conditions change such as after wild-fire or climate warming.
