I also am a lecturer in an Invasive Species course.

Information

I am a wetland ecologist with a long-standing fascination for plant–soil interactions, plant productivity, and the ways ecosystems respond to changing environmental conditions. My academic journey began in the United States, where I earned a B.Sc. from George Washington University, a M.Sc. from the State University of New York at Fredonia, and a Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

My career has taken me from research and teaching positions in the U.S. to the Czech Republic, where I have now lived and worked for more than two decades. Since 2010, I have been an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecosystem Biology at the Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, following earlier research roles at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and McNeese State University in Louisiana.

My research focuses on wetland ecology, plant productivity and ecophysiology, plant–soil interactions, ecosystem management, and wetland restoration. In recent years, I have led and contributed to projects exploring how hydrology, nutrient inputs, and climate variability influence plant growth, community composition, soil processes, and overall ecosystem function.

I am also active in professional communities, serving as Secretary of the Society of Wetland Scientists – Europe chapter since 2012, chair of the Publication Committee of the Society of Wetland Scientists since 2019, and as a member of the Ecological Society of America and the Czech Ecological Society.
