Research Interests
All aspects of forest regeneration are of interest to me. A large part of my career to date has been spent studying the stress physiology of seedlings in order to improve outplanting success. My research covers such areas as starch in roots, cholorphyll fluorescence, water relations, morphological characteristics of seedlings and vegetation management.
