Miranda A. Kearney Ph.D.
Kearney Team
Kearney Team research focuses on
human disturbances across systems and scales
and uses a variety of techniques to address questions related to global change biology.
I am also interested in research questions that address best practices for science education.
​​
​
​
Current questions being studied in the lab include:
​
​1. How do invasive plant species impact community processes such as ecological succession?
​​
​
2. What effects do invasive plants have on soil abiotic properties and biotic communities?
​
3. Do invasive plant species respond to native plant allelopathic chemicals?
​​
​
4. Can we identify and utilize effective alternative techniques for managing plant invasions?
​​
​
5. How does microplastic pollution in soils affect growth and development of different plant species?
