Mandy L. Slate

Mandy L. Slate studies plant ecology, focusing on how mosses, biocrusts (thin communities of mosses, lichens, and microbes on soil surfaces), and other plants respond to drought, invasive species, and disturbance across different life stages, from seedlings to adults. Her work combines field experiments, trait measurements, and literature synthesis to understand plant regeneration, invasion success, and ecosystem restoration, particularly in dryland and grassland systems.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade with no strong upward or downward trend, ranging from 1 to 6 papers per year, averaging about 3.8 per year over the last five years.
