Research Interests
I’m a plant ecologist who has been lucky enough to work in three different southern hemisphere countries: Chile, Australia and New Zealand. Since returning to these shores in 2011, my research has focused mostly on reconciling the quirks of New Zealand's strange flora and vegetation with ecological theory. My previous Marsden project (with Rob Smissen, Susan Wiser and Daniel Laughlin) used New Zealand’s celebrated divaricate plants as a model system for testing a new hypothesis about the evolution of anti-browsing defences. This hypothesis synthesizes the existing climatic and “moa browsing” hypotheses, proposing that anti-browsing defences are of most value on sites where climatic constraints prevent juvenile trees and shrubs from growing quickly out of the browse zone.
My new Marsden project (with Ian Dickie, Jenny Read and Frida Piper) brings mycorrhizal ecology to bear on the classic problem of “beech gaps” in south-temperate forests. We examine the interaction of ectomycorrhizal Nothofagus with the arbuscular mycorrhizal species that numerically dominate the tree assemblages of south-temperate forests in New Zealand, Chile and Tasmania. We’ll be using landslide chronosequences in one of our approaches to this problem – one of our study sites on Mt. Hauhungatahi is shown below.
