Lincoln, Ne

Investigated the effects of vegetation disturbances and climatic variability in the Nebraska Sandhills on ecosystem processes such as carbon and nitrogen cycling, soil respiration, biomass production, and erosion. Used vegetation sampling techniques, LI- COR 8100, KCL soil extractions, and isotope analysis. Projects included the Grassland Destabilization Experiment (GDEX), Dune Re-stabilization Experiment (DREX), Nutrient Network (NUTNET), Great Plains Methane Project (GPM).

Manhattan, Ks

Researched the physiological and growth responses of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) to manipulations of temperature and precipitation. Used infra-red gas analysis (photosynthesis), scholander pressure bombs (water potential), leaf fluorescence, and vegetation sampling. Projects included the Konza Prairie environmental gradients, Konza Prairie mesocosms, drivers of dogwood encroachment in tallgrass prairie, tallgrass prairie plant traits, hydraulic physiology and morphology of prairie… Show more Researched the physiological and growth responses of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) to manipulations of temperature and precipitation.

Hastings, Ne

Investigated effects of intraspecific and interspecific competition among ten native and invasive Nebraska prairie grassland species. Characterized growth and plant traits and performed statistical analysis on the effects of resource competition.

Pocatello, Idaho

Assisted in research on tree invasion of subalpine and alpine meadows in the Teton Mountains due to climate change effects and exotic forb invasion of semiarid sagebrush-steppe rangelands. Used infra-red gas analysis (photosynthesis), scholander pressure bombs (water potential), stable isotope techniques, analysis of leaf area using imaging techniques.
