Current Research I primarily conduct research on the ecology and competitive abilities of Lindera melissifolia (pondberry). Ecological research focuses on characterizing abiotic factors and forest structure associiated with occurrence of pondberry in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley. Competition studies (intra- and interspecific) address the effects of flooding intervals and duration on relative competitive abilities and growth characteristics of pondberry and its competitors.
