Ongoing research projects

Biodiversity and soil water dynamics in big sagebrush ecosystems

Using both intensive field sampling and soil water modelling, we quantified biodiversity in big sagebrush communities at 51 sites across all major biogeographical basins of Wyoming. Some of the results of this study have been published (see above), but we have high hopes for additional manuscripts and published datasets from this research effort.

Livestock grazing effects on structure and function of big sagebrush ecosystems

Using space for time around livestock watering points in western Wyoming, collaborators and I have ongoing work on public lands that are grazed by cattle as their primary use. In this study, we used the piosphere, or the pattern of increasing livestock impact around water sources, to quantify how livestock grazing impacts plant community diversity and structure.
