Research Interests

I am a plant ecologist with research interests including the mechanisms that structure plant community diversity, plant - soil interactions, plant competition, statistical ecology, and natural history. My current research is focused on 1) the role plant - microbial interactions play in structuring plant community composition and diversity, and 2) the use of fire and grazing management strategies to maintain grassland productivity and health

Current Graduate Students

Angie Li (MSc.)

Angie is working on the ecology of Arctic Nitrogen fixing legumes.

Sera Grover (Msc.)

BSc (2020) Animal Bioscience, University of Saskatchewan; Cert. (2020) Sustainability, University of Saskatchewan

Sera is currently studying the long-term recovery of native grasslands after wildfire via plot level and remote sensing techniques. Plot level techniques are assessing how cattle affect the recovery of total biomass and diversity via grazing. Remote sensing technologies are being used to asses the usefulness of technologies to aid in future management decisions.
