Affiliations Botany Dissertation Title: To be announced Personal Statement: My personal interests include invasive species biology and management, rare plant species conservation, native plant restoration, and human impacts on plant community dynamics. My previous research focused on the restoration of three native bunchgrasses in an invaded coastal California grassland. I was interested to see if native bunchgrasses were capable of establishing, growing, reproducing, and surviving in an invaded coastal grassland. Currently, I am interested in the mechanisms underlying the transition from tropical to temperate invasive species along elevational gradients on the Big Island and Maui. I am hoping to develop a dissertation project that focuses on identifying the aboitic and biotic mechanisms that create this transition. In addition, I am hoping to use this data to predict future patterns of invasions on the Big Island and Maui under climate warming. Awards:
