About Us


We are a group of researchers working with Professor Richard Smith. Our work encompasses a wide range of ecological and agricultural projects, but generally, our research aims to improve the sustainability of agriculture by developing management practices that are based on ecological principles. Much of our work lies at the interface between community and ecosystem ecology and agronomy and explores opportunities for enhancing ecosystem services associated with agronomic pest regulation, resource utilization, and pollution mitigation. 

We're located at the University of New Hampshire in the department of Natural Resources and the Environment
