binnusa@purdue.edu Brianne is studying maritime forest restoration in southern Georgia. She is mainly concerned with how to grow southern live oak in a restoration setting, and how these oaks are competing for resources with loblolly pine.
ochs3@purdue.edu Alison studies the short- and long-term effects of timber management on terrestrial salamanders. In particular, she focuses on the effects of prescribed fire, the different effects of clearcuts, shelterwood harvest, uneven age management, and how far into surrounding forest such effects could reach.
