Karin M. Kettenring Watershed Sciences / Ecology Center Professor NR 230 karin.kettenring@usu.edu By Appointment http://karinkettenring.com/ https://qanr.usu.edu/_dev/_merge/qcnr/files/directory/cv/Kettenring-CV_2024_dist.pdf We address basic and applied questions related to wetland, plant, seed, invasion, and restoration ecology. We address research questions such as: <ol> <li>What limits the restoration of wetland plant communities?</li> <li>What role do plant species and genetic diversity play in restoring the structure and function of wetlands?</li> <li>What makes invasive plants successful, what are their impacts, and how can we best manage them in wetlands?</li> <li>How do short and long-term drought, and intensive water management, affect wetland plant communities?</li> </ol> Our research sites include brackish wetlands of the Great Salt Lake and Chesapeake Bay, riparian wetlands along the Platte River, and prairie pothole wetlands in MN and IA.
