:: Current
Research ::
I'm looking at burning and grazing cool-season grasslands to promote
native grass recruitment for agronomic, ecological, and social benefits.
This research project really is about blending conservation efforts
with agricultural practices in South Central Wisconsin. Information
obtained from this proposed research will be developed into an
educational piece that will be accessible to many stakeholders
interested in grass-based agroecosystems.
