   abstract: Lea sees disturbances such as fire, floods, and human manipulations
     of the environment as opportunities to test our understanding of ecosystem function
     and plant community dynamics. She works closely with land managers, providing
     science to support their management questions and needs. Having a diverse background
     of employment, from private consultant for industry to federal research ecologist,
     she is well-equipped to execute advanced tools for ecosystem restoration, as
     well as identify and create new analytical and survey tools moving forward.Lea
     has recent research filling the knowledge gap related to biological soil crusts
     (biocrusts) in the Great Basin ecoregion. This region has been prone towards
     increasing fire and invasion by non-native annual grasses that provide the fuel
     for those fires. The negative association between the abundance of biocrusts
     and non-native annual invasive grasses is one of the most consistent tools that
     we have in understanding how to minimize these grasses, which are threatening
     the existence of sagebrush ecosystems. This work encompasses related topics
     such as the successful restoration of biocrusts, the identification of land
     management practices that allow for the maintenance of biocrusts, the response
     of various morphogroups of biocrusts to disturbances as well identifying the
     associations between morphogroups and plant communities.
