Because plants face a multitude of threats, using a combination of scientific methodologies is often necessary to identify the causes and consequences of population and species decline. A synthetic approach allows for a more complete understanding of how anthropogenic activities may negatively impact sensitive species - including endangered, threatened, and endemic plant species.
My research combines a variety of different scientific approaches to answer broad-scale conservation questions to ultimately guide policy and management decisions. In particular, my research integrates data on population genetics, demography, reproductive biology, and threats imposed by anthropogenic activities, including nitrogen deposition and habitat fragmentation.
