​Current research projects

Nitrogen cycling in small watersheds
We are examining nitrogen dynamics in the Adirondack Mountains, figuring out how small watersheds are responding to long-term changes in atmospheric acidic (nitrogen and sulfur) deposition, i.e., acid rain.
Collaborators:  Robert Sabo, Greg Lawrence

Conservation of spreading globeflower
My dissertation, which I completed in 2009, focused on the conservation, management, and population dynamics of Trollius laxus (spreading globeflower). About 15 years after creating canopy gaps over T. laxus subpopulations at Nelson Swamp Unique Area, we returned there in the summer of 2018 to monitor the plants and see how they are doing.  Data analysis in progress.

EREN projects
We participate in 3 Ecological Research as Education Network (EREN) projects and 1 EREN partnership project. Distribution of Earthworms, led by Tim McCay, is investigating the distribution of native and non-native earthworms in the U.S.  Milkweed Adaptation, headed up by Emily Mohl, is looking at how milkweed plants (which are essential for monarch butterflies) will respond to climate change. Laurie Anderson and Vikki Rodgers are leading a project that examines patterns in the distribution of the invasive plant garlic mustard.
