Working to find the most suitable seed sources for reforestation under climate change.
|
Research:
My work in forest and conservation science aims to help solve pressing challenges across Canada and the world, including forest adaptation to climate change. Using a variety of tree-ring methods, I have studied tree population adaptation to warming and increasing probability of climatic extremes (drought and cold), with implications for forest management in a warmer world. My current work focuses on quantitative genetics, ensuring the most suitable tree seed for reforestation is deployed on the landscape. |
