About Us
Welcome to the Vegetation Ecology Group! We are a strongly field-oriented laboratory and use a combination of observational and experimental studies to address fundamental questions related to invasion, environmental stressors, and restoration. Current study ecosystems include coast range grasslands, vernal pools, coastal sage scrub, riparian zones, chaparral, and Hawaiian forests.
