As a research scientist in
the School of Forest Resources, I split my time among applied research in
forest ecology and providing training in
community-level data analyses. |

Interests:
Lately, my research interests have turned to forest ecology with collaborations in the Applied Forest Ecology & Silviculture Lab at Penn State.
For the first 15 years, my research focused on all aspects of the commercial harvest of moss. This included species composition, biomass distribution, cover and biomass growth rates, post-harvest recovery dynamics, and alternative management approaches. After years of dedicated effort, I conclusively showed that moss...grows...slowly.
