Profession or Area of Expertise
Plant ecologist (Ph.D.); research;
plant/herbivore interactions, rare plant conservation biology, floristics:
currently Research Associate at University of California
Personal Statement
I have graduate degrees in both botany and range science from Colorado
State University. Before affiliating with University of California, I was
a research associate (Departments of Biology, Range Ecosystem Science,
Forestry) and part-time instructor (Department of Biology) at Colorado
State. I have done research on the impacts of large native herbivores on
native plants and am interested in how these differ from the impacts of
alien herbivores (domestic and feral). I've advised a number of
conservation groups on public lands grazing issues and reviewed NEPA
documents for them. I've also been an expert witness in
livestock-grazing-related legal cases involving national parks. I have
also been doing floristics and rare plantwork on military installations.I
strongly believe the best way to improve ecological conditions of
publiclands used as rangeland is to manage them using best available
science.
