Emphasis: My research focuses on preemptive (pre-disturbance) rangeland restoration, as well as post-disturbance restoration strategies. Within my research lab, my students and I are working to improve rangeland resilience to disturbance (primarily wildfire) and resistance to invasion in the sagebrush steppe ecosystem. Specifically, we are addressing information gaps regarding plant community restoration and establishment of desired species, utilizing livestock grazing as a management tool to reduce invasive annual weeds and lower wildfire risk, vegetation responses to land management actions in spatially and temporally variable environments, and monitoring and assessing rangeland health for those actively working on the landscape.
