Current Research: |
My major research interests are ecology and sustainable management of pine and pine/hardwood ecosystems in the South. My work fits into three broad categories: ecosystem renewal, ecosystem restoration, and intensive planation culture. Areas of work in Ecosystem Renewal include: effects of fire and other disturbances on site productivity, nutrient cycling, and maintenance of coarse woody debris. In the arena of Ecosystem Restoration, my work includes: effects of restoration on soil quality, especially carbon sequestration, and methods for evaluating restoration success. I am finishing a research program on Intensive Plantation Culture, which includes intensive fiber production of Eastern cottonwood using fertigation technology. |
Collaborative Research: |
Expanded work on any of the above areas; carbon allocation patterns and productivity; developing criteria and indicators of sustainability. |
