US-IALE 2018

I am currently studying the drivers of vegetation in ecotones. In addition to landscape ecology, I use concepts from historical ecology, forest ecology, community ecology, and spatial statistics in my work. I am broadly interested in using spatial analysis to help understand complex ecological issues.
