Santiago Lopez and IAS alumni Neal Hicks and Jacqueline Feola publish invasive species research

UW Bothell School of IAS Professor Santiago Lopez and alumni Neal Hicks and Jacqueline Feola, recently published a new research article examining the factors driving the spread of English holly (Ilex aquifolium) in Pacific Northwest urban forests in the journal Discover Plants. Their findings provide important guidance for urban forest management and restoration, helping to inform strategies to reduce the impacts of invasive species and protect native forest ecosystems. This research was made possible by a Scholarship, Research, and Creative Practice (SRCP) Grant from the University of Washington Bothell and a research permit from Washington State Parks (SRP #220906).
