Sarah Hirsh
Home State/Country: Pennsylvania
Degree Sought: MS
Home Department: Agronomy
Major Professor(s): Matt Liebman
Research Interests:
My research is based at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Jasper County, Iowa. At Neal Smith,
an interdisciplinary team of researchers is studying the ecological and socioeconomic effects of
reintroducing perennial vegetation in agricultural systems. Multiple watersheds serve
as experimental treatment groups for various crop and perennial buffer strip systems
in which prairie plants are integrated. My research will focus on the vegetative aspects
of these systems and in particular the species composition and relative abundance of different
plants in buffer strips and cropped areas.
