 abstract: Dr. Emily Palmquist is a plant ecologist with the Southwest Biological
   Science Center, Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Station. Emily studies riparian
   plant ecology in drylands of the western U.S. with particular emphasis on providing
   scientific information that addresses land management and stakeholder needs.

 abstract: Emily conducts research with direct applications to improving land stewardship
   in a changing environment. Her research examines how environmental pressures,
   plant genetics, plant traits, and interactions among these factors affect plant
   community structure and change. This research often provides information needed
   to make management decisions, for example, characterizing floristic patterns,
   choosing plants for restoration, and evaluating taxonomic relationships. These
   studies also often characterize the effect of management decisions, for example,
   dam operations or grazing. Since her research sits at the interface of conservation
   and land use, she aims to contribute to creating solutions for living sustainably
   in drylands.Her current research projects focus on the impact of river regulation
   on riparian vegetation communities, riparian plant population genetics in a restoration
   context, and physiological responses of riparian plants to flooding and climate.Emily
   moved to the Southwest in 2006 after a variety of seasonal plant ecology positions
   in Minnesota, Indiana, and Western Australia. Since then, she has worked in Utah,
   Arizona, and New Mexico assisting with research on rare plants, dryland plant
   ecology, spring vegetation, grazing, and riparian vegetation. Emily has been working
   in the Grand Canyon region since 2011, which has included conducting upland and
   riparian long-term vegetation monitoring and grazing assessments.
