My research also explores population genetics of forest hosts and pathogens, genetic relationships among forest hosts and pathogens in the northern hemisphere, the role of soil microflora in forest health, gene expression of forest pathogens causing disease, predicting potentially invasive pathogens, and influences of climate, disturbances, and other environmental factors on forest hosts, pathogens, and beneficial microbes.
