I'm a “place-based” naturalist, ecologist, environmental consultant, and writer with particular interests in the land and riverscapes of the Appalachians, largely with a focus on conservation, biodiversity, environmental change, and human-environment issues. My research/professional interests include riparian ecology (ecological survey and assessment; natural history of riparian-associated plants and wildlife), forest ecology (natural history of eastern North American forest trees; regeneration ecology; herb-layer composition, structure and dynamics), historical ecology (land-use history and landscape change; landscape history of Appalachia; effects of human-induced environmental change in landscapes and rivers of the eastern United States, especially in relation to past and present natural resource uses), and ethnobiology (traditional and contemporary use, management and conservation of plants, wildlife and fisheries resources, especially in eastern North America).
