I study the ecological and evolutionary processes that shape plant diversity and distributions across various scales of organization--from individual plants, to populations, to entire communities. I have studied how biological invasions, grazing, climate change, fire, and rapid adaptation to novel environments affect plant biodiversity. At Denver Botanic Gardens, I combine complementary sampling approaches from different disciplines—including collections-based botanical floristics and quantitative plant ecology—to improve our understanding of what factors shape plant biodiversity.
