abstract: "There she designed long-term vegetation monitoring programs, directed\ | |||
\ topsoil salvage operations, and designed and tested native plant seed mixes\ | |||
\ for habitat reclamation. 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\ | ||
