I am a Ph.D. candidate in Environmental Studies. My working
dissertation title is "Ecosytem Services and Agricultural Habitat Buffers and Large-scale Restoration on the Sacramento River". This research focuses on bird, insect, and plant distributions and interactions associated with large-scale riparian restoration and agriculture in the Sacramento River watershed
in California.
In general, I study how communities are distributed within complex
landscapes and how communities and species interactions are affected
by landscape configuration at different spatial scales and with
different management regimes. I have investigated these concepts
through the lens of the agricultural landscape of the upper Sacramento
River, the neotropical landscape of shade coffee, and the
overwintering habitat of neotropical birds. I also investigate the
ecology of ecosystem services, in particular pest control, associated
with natural habitat. I work to link these ecological findings to communities in order to determine specific management and conservation practices, as well as determine how to use this information to best structure policy tools that
support restoration and conservation |
