Ecotones Between Forest and Grassland
He served as a CO-PI for 12 years on their LTER grants. He left there for another position in Oklahoma where he conducted the research in the Cross Timbers ecotone reported here. He continues to receive support from UPR for work in Ecuador and Peru where he currently samples and maintains a LTER set...
