Current Research
I am a Research Forester in the Rocky Mountain Research Station's Forests and Woodland Ecosystems Science Program located in Flagstaff, AZ. I plan and conduct research on long-term forest productivity and landscape processes in aspen, pinyon-juniper, ponderosa pine, and mixed conifer forests with an emphasis on knowledge of the adaptive capacity of these ecosystems to novel climatic and disturbance conditions. This work is disseminated through tailgate meetings, tours, workshops, informal presentations, editorial pieces, scientific meetings and proceedings, and refereed journals. I am also the Scientist in Charge (SIC) of the Fort Valley Experimental Forest. Besides my administrative role, I also have responsibilities for coordinating intra- and extramural research and resulting activities that are conducted on the Experimental Forest. Currently, I am investigating relationships between species and structural diversity vs. productivity, patterns of forest response to abiotic and biotic (including non-native invasive plants) disturbance cascades, and different metrics of long-term sustainability. I am working on landscape change resulting from afforestation of pastoral landscapes after de facto abandonment. I am also interested in managing for multiple benefits of agroforestry landscapes.
Research Interests
My work is centered on disturbance and ecosystem stability and how management actions can impact resilience and resistance at the stand, landscape, and regional level, particularly at the environmental extremes (flooding, drought, cold). As part of this theme, I am interested in issues related to climate impacts, forest health, and invasives, both native and nonnative. I am interested in examining the likelihood of biotic disturbances and the forest structures that result, along with devising strategies for avoidance or amelioration.
Why This Research is Important
Coming from a forest management background, I am interested in the connection between ecological processes and policy and management actions. Research in forest ecology often finds itself constrained to a particular scale: individual plant, landscape, biome or region. If the latest knowledge is to be properly transferred to on-the-ground actions, then one must translate said knowledge into a scale and format that is useful to managers. Whether using imagery from satellites, FIA data or stand exams, then end result must be an action (on non-action) on the ground that promotes the goals and objectives of the landowner. My intent is to document trends in landscape change and, in so doing, examine patterns of disturbance and sustainability across spatial scales, thus providing value to local foresters seeking explanations for observations of disturbance, health, growth, and structure on their properties.
