2016 The Catherine H. Beattie Fellowship in Conservation Horticulture
Tracy Cook is a first year master’s candidate in the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at Alabama A & M University and Assistant Curator at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. Her research involves the identification of topographical, edaphic, and ecological variables that limit where the endangered Huntsville Vase Vine (Clematis morefieldii) grows naturally. Quantitative evaluation and spatial analysis will be used to predict the locations of unknown populations, clarify habitat requirements, and provide a baseline from which the effects of land management may be assessed.
