Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve

The purpose of my research is to better define maritime chaparral, a highly diverse and sensitive natural community along the central California coast that is in the eye of a land use policy storm. My central hypothesis is that coastal summer fog moderates drought stress in maritime chaparral and this climate influence may be key to better delimiting its distribution. My work includes ecophysiological research at four core sites along a fog to no fog climate gradient and sampling of stands of chaparral in the central coast region along a near coast to inland gradient to differences (if any) between maritime chaparral and interior chaparral. I should be done with the field componenet of my research by the end of next year (2009).
