Currently, I am investigating the ecology of epiphyte communities (lichens, bryophytes, and vascular plants) in coast redwood in several state parks in the southern part of the species range. I am interested in expanding my research to investigate driving factors that determine establishment of epiphyte communities in coast redwood, giant sequoia, Douglas-fir and other tree species. Lichen response to climate change is another very interesting topic.
