Dr. Jill Harvey conducts research in the areas of wildfire and forest ecology, including historical wildfire regimes, the effects of recent wildfires on vegetation regeneration, and effects of drought on trees and forests. Her research relies on field-based datasets from tree-rings, vegetation inventories, and long-term monitoring studies to describe the ecological effects of wildfire in the past, and how future wildfires may change forest and grassland ecosystems.
