Native plant restoration
How can native plant communities be restored?
From ‘Fore’ to Forest: The Ecological Restoration of Acacia Reservation
We study restoration in a former golf course with Cleveland Metropark's Constance Hausman

This project also includes molecular characterization of soil microbial communities in collaboration with David Burke's lab at Holden Arboretum.
The Holden research staff and summer interns with collaborators from Case Western Reserve University atop the Kalberer Emergent Tower in July 2015.
This project is part of Andy Lance's Ph.D. research.
