Justin M Valliere

Justin M. Valliere is a Senior Professor at California State University, Dominguez Hills. His research focuses on applied ecology, specifically restoration ecology, conservation biology, and the ecophysiology of invasive annual plants. His recent work investigates local adaptation to aridity and nitrogen deposition in invasive species, the efficacy of microbial inoculants for native plant growth, and functional trait-based predictors of leaf thermal tolerance. He also examines seed sourcing strategies for foundational grasses and topsoil assessment for post-mining restoration, contributing to evidence-based practices in ecological restoration.
