BIO
Broadly, Al is interested in the intersection of forest management, climate change, and ecophysiology. More specifically, her research focuses on understanding physiological mechanisms underpinning adaptability of species to changing climate regimes and adaptive forest management.
Research areas include: utilizing manipulative experiments to determine mechanistic mortality thresholds of species predicted to have population and range expansions under future climatic conditions; determining physiological responses of species used in assisted migration and adaptive management silvicultural trials; and understanding the influence of both traditional and adaptive management on herbaceous understory community composition.
Prospective graduate students interested in learning more about research and experiences in the Rubenstein School may contact her.
