Her interest in ecosystem restoration led her to\ \ the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she participated in the restoration\ \ ecology group, and helped design a new Conservation Biology Master\u2019s\ \ program. In 1988, she began working with the National Park Service in the\ \ Great Lakes region on conservation of coastal ecosystems. She began long-term\ \ studies of a threatened dune thistle in one of the habitats she loves best:\ \ coastal dunes. Her research interests led her to the California south coast,\ \ where she continues to study rare plants and vegetation. Her particular interests\ \ are in the study of how the vegetation forms the context for rare plant persistence,\ \ as seen through long-term demographic patterns in the rare plants of the California\ \ Channel Islands. To look at this question, she is tracking the native and\ \ alien plant communities of the islands along with a suite of rare native plants\ \ that inhabit these communities. She guides the Prototype Vegetation Monitoring\ \ Program at Channel Islands National Park, and assists other agencies with\ \ plant community and rare plant monitoring program design.RESEARCH INTERESTSChaparral\ \ EcologyCoastal Sage EcologyCommunity ecologyConservation biologyEcological\ \ monitoringGeographic Information SystemsInvasive species ecologyLandscape\ \ ecologyLandscape patternsPlant ecologyPop. viab. modelsPopulation biologyRestoration\ \ ecologySpecies/Population managementWeed management" additionalType: personal statement email: kathryn_mceachern@usgs.gov hasCredential: - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: Ph.D., Botany, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 1992 - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: B.S., Botany, University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, CO 1979 hasOccupation: - '@type': OrganizationalRole affiliatedOrganization: '@type': Organization name: Western Ecological Research Center (WERC) url: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc roleName: Research Ecologist startDate: '2024-05-12T15:23:01.815688' identifier: - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: GeoKB value: https://geokb.wikibase.cloud/entity/Q54604 - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: ORCID value: 0000-0003-2631-8247 jobTitle: Research Ecologist knowsAbout: [] memberOf: '@type': OrganizationalRole member: '@type': Organization name: U.S. Geological Survey name: staff member startDate: '2024-05-12T15:23:01.812892' name: Kathryn McEachern url: https://www.usgs.gov/staff-profiles/kathryn-mceachern
