Research interests:

I am interested in how disturbance impacts abundance, diversity and community composition of invertebrate assemblages. Disturbance may occur naturally in a system or result from agricultural processes such as tillage, prescribed burning, grazing, soil amendments, compaction or invasive plant species.

Current research interests focus on assessing soil-dwelling invertebrate communities (within the rhizosphere) in different agricultural regimes, in patch-burn-grazing sequence habitats, and, in aquatic and riparian zones.
