Techniques: dendrochronology, field methods, soil analysis, botany, aerial photos, fire history, land use change, and population dynamics in plant communities, such as Arizona and Wisconsin riparian woodlands, Colorado montane grasslands, maple beech forests, Arizona ponderosa pine forest, and oak savanna
