Amazing Dryland Ecology and Management Lab grad students Louisa Kimmell and John Bacovcin wrapping up a productive week in the field installing two new #RestoreNet sites in southern Colorado! 🎉


Harvest day at the greenhouse 🌱 Dryland seedlings from the #RestoreNet project just finished battling it out with cheatgrass 🥊. Stay tuned for results from Amy S Gill ‘s native seed mix design project! Dryland Ecology and Management Lab


Dryland Ecology and Management Lab undergraduate Extension Intern Hunter Geist-Sanchez gave an AWESOME poster presentation at last night’s CSU Extension forum on his research about #RestoreNet stakeholder goals and engagement. Congrats, Hunter 🎉


NEW #RestoreNet study led by Kathleen Balazs out today in Journal of Ecology with @SethMMunson and Brad Butterfield. How do plant community trait distributions change in response to restoration in drylands? Find out here 👇 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

As the first year of the Dryland Ecology and Management Lab draws to a close, I’m beyond impressed with all the amazing things this group has accomplished this year. Excited to see what 2022 brings.


The second paper from Amy S Gill's Masters is out! Restoring Palmer's agave in a Lehmann lovegrass dominated grassland in Southeastern Arizona: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/re…

Proud PI moment: Graduate students Amy S Gill and Louisa Kimmell from Dryland Ecology and Management Lab presented amazing posters at the SERestoration Rocky Mountain Conference this week. Exciting science and wonderful posters!


First-ever graduate of the Dryland Ecology and Management Lab Jessie Fagan presented her Honors Thesis today on the effects of dryland #restoration on physical soil characteristics in the #RestoreNet project 🎉 CSU Warner College Forest and Rangeland Stewardship


Another semester (almost) in the books! Dryland Ecology and Management Lab get together today to celebrate a semester's worth of accomplishments and our lab's first graduate, Jessie! This group fills up my cup!


Had a great time visiting some successful Farm Service Agency Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) pollinator plantings last week with Amy S Gill and collaborator Lauren Porensky Dept. of Agriculture The bees were out! 🐝 Dryland Ecology and Management Lab CSU Warner College


Love #drylands, #restoration, and plant #traits? Exciting news! The Dryland Ecology and Management Lab is recruiting a (fully funded) PhD student to join the lab in Spring or Fall 2023! Please check out the full position posting at drylandecology.com and via the link below!


Reminder: Dryland Ecology and Management Lab is recruiting a PhD (or a highly motivated MS) student specializing in restoration , plant traits 🌱, climate change 🏜to join our team in 2023! Start dates are somewhat flexible. For full consideration, please apply by Friday, Sept 23.

Proud PI here! Dryland Ecology and Management Lab grad students Louisa Kimmell Amy S Gill and John Bacovcin are in Flagstaff this week for the Biennial Conference for Science and Management on the Colorado Plateau and SW Region! If you're around, check out their talks on #dryland #restoration!




A #USGS_SBSC Forest and Rangeland Stewardship study found that perennial cool-season and warm-season grasses will likely respond differently to #climatechange, resulting in compositional changes in western US grasslands. Learn more 👉 ow.ly/X05H50NArwT Wiley Ecology & Evolution Dr. Carrie Havrilla


Today was the Dryland Ecology and Management Lab end of semester picnic. We celebrated graduations (Louisa Kimmell Hunter Geist-Sanchez), new jobs, and each other. Such a great group 🏜️🥳


Congratulations to Dryland Ecology and Management Lab M.S. student Louisa Kimmell on her graduation today! Louisa’s thesis explored impacts of soil restoration on soil physical characteristics and microbial communities in drylands🦠 🏜️ So proud to have served as her mentor Colorado State University


New Dryland Ecology and Management Lab paper led by Louisa Kimmell. Soil restoration increases soil health across global drylands: A meta-analysis. Key results below 🧵 doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…
