For my graduate research at UCSC I will be focusing on plant-plant interactions within Elkhorn Slough salt marshes. My first chapter is currently focusing on potential facilitation interactions of Salicornia pacifica (pickleweed) and Frankenia salina (alkali-heath).

My project takes place in Phases 1 and 2 of the Hester Marsh project, a multimillion dollar salt marsh restoration project in the Elkhorn Slough. I am contributing to efforts to characterize and improve revegetation success at Hester.
