   abstract: 'Rebecca Howard directed a research program on wetland plant community
     dynamics, including the effects of stressors and disturbances on plant community
     structure and function. She also conducted research on seed bank ecology, wetland
     restoration ecology, and plant response to factors associated with climate change.Her
     research program centered on plant community dynamics in coastal wetlands of
     the northern Gulf of Mexico and inland wetlands of the southeastern U.S. The
     major goals of Howards research were to: (1) determine how wetland plants
     respond to physicochemical stressors and disturbance, (2) develop an understanding
     of how biotic and abiotic factors affect plant community structure and composition,
     and (3) determine the mechanisms responsible for spatial and temporal variation
     in plant communities. Specific studies have included determining the effects
     of increased flooding and salinity on the growth of common perennial marsh macrophytes
     in field and greenhouse experiments, detailing vegetation succession patterns
     and seed bank characteristics on exposed soils of a large freshwater reservoir,
     describing soil and plant community response to disturbance associated with
     oil and gas exploration, and identifying intraspecific variation in stress tolerance
     of wetland plant species with the goal of identifying plants for use in restoration
     projects.'
