Current Research Focus:
Effects of natural and anthropogenic disturbances (e.g., fire, weather extremes, pest/disease, biological invasion, and human activities/management) on forest ecosystems and their implication to forest productivity, sustainability, and resilience.
Currently Funded projects:
Responses of different tree species to a severe ice storm in the Southeastern United States. National Science Foundation. PI.
Forest fire alters disinfection byproduct precursor exports from forested watersheds. Joint Fire Science Program. Co-PI.
Impacts of prescribed fire on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon production and contaminant phototransformation reactions in coastal plain. USDA AFRI. Co-PI.
Impact of laurel wilt disease on redbay (Persea borbonia) ecosystems. USDA Forest Service. PI.
Post-hurricane Fuel Dynamics and its Implication to Fire Behavior USDA Forest Service. PI.
Develop Integrated Management Practices for the Control of Chinese Tallow (Triadica sebifera) in Maritime Forests. U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. PI.
