Research interests

My research experience has been in the areas of tree physiology, forest soils, ectomycorrhizae, and forest ecology. Studies include greenhouse, growth chamber and field experiments in water relations, relationship between soil aluminum and forest decline, genetics of ectomycorrhizae (associated with conifers) in a forest tree seedling nursery, effects of fertilizer rates on mycorrhizal colonization of black spruce, persistence of inoculated mycorrhizae on outplanted black spruce, biological control of Fusarium diseases of conifers, and long term biodiversity studies.
