Profile
Ryan is a Ph.D. student in the Silviculture and Ecology Lab. His research focuses on enhancing the resilience of coastal southern forests to the combined impacts of invasive plants and climate change (e.g., increasing severity of hurricane impacts). His research will evaluate silvicultural methods for promoting the regeneration and recruitment of native tree species based on an understanding of forest dynamics. Ryan earned his B.S. and M.S. from the College of Natural Resources at North Carolina State University. His graduate research in the NC State Forest Health Lab focused on the phenology, impacts, and biological control of the emerald ash borer, a devastating pest of ash trees, in the Southeast.
Research Interests
