how human-caused environmental change impacts native plant communities,

<span style="margin:0px">Students would work with me to develop
independent projects that explore some facet of applied plant ecology.
This could include field experiments or observational studies in local
ecosystems, greenhouse studies, or a combination of
these approaches. I currently have some funding for student salary and
some pending grant applications, and I will work with students to secure
other financial support.</span></div>
