My scholarly work seeks to (1) identify actions and pathways towards sustainability and opportunities to catalyze system transformation towards just and sustainable futures; (2) understand how interacting global changes affect pastoral and mountain ecosystems and livelihoods and to detect the patterns and underlying mechanisms driving these responses and feedbacks; (3) conduct global syntheses across grasslands and tundra ecosystems and across mountain social-ecological systems worldwide; and (4) help re-define science through a \u2018transformative science with society\u2019 approach. \u00a0My projects typically combine diverse methods, including field experiments, local knowledge, modeling, systematic reviews, GIS, surveys, and synthesis.<\/div>\n

I am interested in how ecosystems are affected by global change, particularly in alpine and grassland regions where people\u2019s close dependence on the landscape creates tightly coupled feedbacks between ecological structure and function, land use, knowledge, and decision making. \u00a0For my dissertation research in central Tibet, I am examining the effects of changing climate and natural resource management practices on ecosystem processes and plant species composition, as well as on the livelihoods of local pastoralists.\u00a0 I am taking an interdisciplinary approach by linking experimental manipulations, satellite imagery, and household interviews in order to better understand how this social-ecological system will respond to change.<\/span><\/div>\n

I focus my work on effects of climate change and human disturbances on alpine plant ecology and rangeland health. I am especially interested in how plant phenology and functional traits respond to changes in temperature, water availability and land use patterns. I am currently working on my PhD project using both a natural climate gradient (elevation gradient) and experimental approaches to understand how alpine plant species from different functional groups respond to warming temperature, early spring snow addition, yak grazing and pika grazing. The experimental part of my PhD project is part of an ongoing research project that is led by Dr. Julia Klein. I am also involved in two state major science and technology support projects and one state natural science fund project led by Professor Wei Xuehong from the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry College of Tibet University. I am also principle investigator for a research project called pastoralist cultural and wildlife biodiversity in the Chang Tang Nature Reserve, funded by the ministry of personnel, the People\u2019s Republic of China.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I am interested in how global change affects plant species composition and species distribution, and how these changes may affect ecosystem functioning. Additionally, I am recently interested in what constitutes \u201cextreme\u201d climatic events, and whether these extreme events can have a disproportionate impact on ecosystem structure and function. My dissertation research examines the effects of climate change on plant species composition and community structure in native grassland communities in the Great Plains of North America, using a combination of field experiments, modeling, and long term data sets to help answer my research questions.<\/span><\/div>\n

Broadly, I am interested in how climate and land-use act as controls on ecosystem processes and vegetation structure. The focus of my masters research is investigating how the seasonal timing of water availability mediates how grassland plant communities respond to grazing. I have two parts to this: one is a global meta-analysis identifying broad-scale patterns in species compositional response to grazing as a function of climate; the other component is a more mechanistic study looking at changes in plant traits in response to climate and grazing manipulations on the Tibetan Plateau.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
