Introduction:
In the late 1970s I worked with Larry Tieszen (Augustana College) in Alaskan arctic tundra, examining the comparative ecophysiology of plant lifeform response to defoliation. In the early 1980s I worked with Jim Detling at the Natural Resource Ecology Lab (Colorado State), quantifying the effects of prairie dog and bison herbivory on mixed-grass prairie ecosytems. I joined the faculty of Rangeland Ecology and Management at Texas A&M in 1983 and began work on grass-woody plant interactions in the southern Great Plains, which continues through to the present. I joined the faculty at the University of Arizona in 2002 and am currently exploring how changes in land cover (natural and human-induced) affect ecosystem processes. |
