A multi-scale exploration of the drivers and implications of germination strategy in Australian alpine plants
Alpine ecosystems are particularly sensitive to the effects of global warming because they are characterized by species adapted to low temperatures. Although adapted to low temperatures, alpine plants may still be capable of persisting under a changing climate and this will largely be dependent on …

Using population ecology to inform the conservation of Nevada's rare plants
… with almost two in five species of vascular plants at risk for extinction. Rare plants make up a nontrivial portion of that global diversity, but are disproportionately threatened by global change. Therefore, it is critical to effectively estimate population size as well as understand the …

Enhancement of cold tolerance and growth of tomato plants using endophytic bacteria isolated from cold-adapted plants
… can occur. Microbial communities associated with plants in cold environments can enhance plant growth at low temperatures and boost their tolerance to cold stress. Thus, the use of cold-tolerant endophytic bacteria could be a promising approach to protect crop plants from cold stress. This work …

Dynamics of water, carbon, and nitrogen in forest and alpine tundra ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains of the U.S. under future climate change
… </p> <p>In phase two, I developed the first alpine tundra version of PnET-BGC and applied the model at the Saddle of Niwot Ridge in Colorado. Projections indicate that in the future this watershed will become more energy-limited on an annual basis, and the seasonal distribution of the water …
