Coastal Plant Ecology Lab

Our research focuses on plant interactions and feedbacks with the environment at multiple scales. We are part of the Virginia Coast Reserve Long-Term Ecological Research. Current research includes plant interactions with geomorphology, belowground biotic interactions in dune grasses, mechanisms and consequences of grassland-shrubland state change, and predicting barrier island resilience. We collaborate with local and international researchers, and encourage interactions in national and international forums.
