Areas of Interest:
My research interests center on evaluating the efficacy
of traditional and experimental silvicultural strategies
to meet the diverse range of forest management objectives
on public and private land. Specific research areas
include: integrating patterns of forest stand dynamics
into silvicultural practices aimed at enhancing factors
such as timber production and forest structural complexity;
identifying biotic and abiotic controls on natural regeneration
dynamics in managed systems, and investigating the nature
and influence of plant competitive interactions on early
stand development and long-term growth and yield.
