I am broadly interested in rare plant conservation. My work has previously centered on rare tallgrass prairie plant species of the Great Plains of North America. Here at CCSD, I will focus on a globally endangered plant species occurring in the Southeastern United States, Pyne’s ground plum (Astragalus bibullatus). Using demographic data collected over 10+ years, I am examining how management practices impact populations of A. bibullatus and how these impacts could inform future management and conservation of this endangered species.
