Summary

I lecture vegetation ecology at Nelson Mandela University and undertake research that has applied value for biodiversity conservation in a variety of ecosystems (including Karoo, Desert, Savanna, Fynbos, Forest, Thicket, and Aquatic systems), often focused in protected areas. Fields of interest include fire ecology and management, vegetation ecology, plant-herbivore interactions, ecological effects of climate anomalies, invasive plant biology, plant trait-functional responses, conservation management.
