Student projects:
Some students have worked research areas described in the "research- summary of 5 areas on this website (effects of forest management practices to restore longleaf pine ecosystems on the production and flux of methylmercury (the toxic kind), plant allometry and resource allocation; and whether leaf age, and the phenology of plants can be used to predict the herbivore communities on different kinds of plants). Other students are or have worked on newer projects: Longleaf pine seedlings and nutrient and water stress; the response of longleaf pine to simulated trampling; the performance and preference of tobacco hornworms on tobacco plants grown in soils with microplastics; and the effect of saltwater inundation on a grass species.
People who are or have been part of the "Coleman Clan"- term made up by students for those that are connected to and have worked with me.
