Welcome to my faculty web site. I am a landscape horticulturist and ecosystem stress plant physiologist who is interested in
the effects of landscape plant compositional structure and management on the urban landscape sustainability. I maintain an active and extramurally funded research program in sustainable horticulture and
educate students as they prepare for life long careers as horticultural
professionals.
My goal through my research, teaching, and community service programs at Arizona State University is to educate people about the
impacts of their attitudes, decisions, practices, and behaviors on urban ecosystem function. As cities in arid ecoregions expand, one of the keys to their future sustainability is to ensure that outdoor landscapes, particularly the
vast portion of landscapes that exist in residential parts of cities, are conceived and managed in a sustainable manner.
Please explore this web site to learn more about my research and educational programs and sustainable horticulture
at Arizona State University. |
