I am a plant and soil ecologist interested in the intersection of these two fields and in increasing the use of soil ecological communities in plant science research

Research Questions/Projects

What are meaningful research questions at the intersection of urban ecology and soil ecology?

How best to account for the quick turn-over of soil nutrients when studying plant populations and communities

Do edaphic conditions facilitate the survival of populations of a rare plant in New Jersey?

Do fertilizer applications change the soil community of biofuel switchgrass in a way that reduces sustainability of the crop?

Does a specific non-native plant negatively effect native plants in disturbed habitats in the New Jersey Pine Barrens?
