I study how plants interact with and affect the environment around them, and I am interested in how plants cope with or eventually die from changing water availability, including groundwater depletion and increasing atmospheric dryness. I use methods that let me look at entire communities of plants as well as things happening in individual leaves and cells to understand the relationships between water and plants from a broad perspective.
