I am most interested in the effects of fire and fire
management in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. Current research
is in sagebrush steppe and western juniper woodland
vegetation. Research has been done at widely varying scales
from individual plant response to watershed-scale effects and
has utilized both wildfires and prescribed fires. The overall
goal of the research is a better understanding of the function
of disturbance, and particularly fire, in the dynamics of
rangeland ecosystems.
