My research uses salt marsh communities to study how and why species interactions vary across space. My current experimental and modeling work examines how intraspecific variation affects species interactions, which I became interested in during my PhD when I found that plants interacted differently depending on where they came from. Main areas of research include:
Effects of intraspecific variation on species interactions
Modeling intraspecific diversity
Impacts of sea-level rise on salt marsh communities
Continental-scale effects of environmental variability on salt marsh plant communities
Drivers of variation in plant-plant interactions in salt marshes along the California coast
