Leaf Functional Traits as Predictors of Drought Tolerance in Urban Trees
… upon performance under water stress. Certain leaf functional traits can help horticulturalists more accurately predict water usage of urban trees. Comprehension through rigorous experimentation is lacking, partly due to the thousands of mostly exotic species. Previous studies suggest that …

High throughput phenotyping and quantitative genetics of leaf functional traits in C4 grasses
… use efficiencies. To meet these challenges, functional processes related to crop performance need to be better understood. Phenotyping complex traits such as water and nitrogen use efficiency in genetically diverse populations is currently a bottleneck in crop improvement because it is time …

Leaf and canopy responses to forest degradation and extreme climatic events: a remote sensing perspective
Monitoring the responses of leaf functional traits and vegetation structure to environmental change is key to understanding the responses of ecological systems to anthropogenic global change. Advancement in earth observation technologies provide new opportunities to answer complex ecological …

Functional traits and resource-use strategies of native and invasive plants in Eastern North American forests
… plants with this advantage. Here, I compared traits of native and invasive shrub and liana species in Eastern North American (ENA) forests to test the overarching hypothesis that non-native understory species invasive to this region have superior resource-use strategies, or alternatively, they …

The Effects of Whole Genome Duplication on Functional Traits and Interactions With Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi
… neopolyploidy affects plant ecophysiology, or functional trait variation across environments, we can understand the ecological contexts that can promote polyploid establishment. Thus, a major goal of this dissertation was to understand how neopolyploidy affects plant ecophysiology and …
