Animal and Rangeland Sciences - Archive

My research centers on rangeland vegetation and arid land plants. I am interested in studying the ecology, eco-physiology, and consumption of these plants as affected by different forms of management or environmental variation. My current research can be grouped in the following programs:

• Water use and plant adaptations to drought
• Utilization of organic amendments and mycorrhizal fungi in ecological restoration
• Ecological impacts of livestock grazing
• Carbon accumulation as affected by ecosystem management
• Rangeland invasive plants/weeds (exotic annuals, juniper)
