OverviewAI-generated summary
Laura Lee Sims researches the genetic and phenotypic variation of *Phytophthora* species, a genus of destructive plant pathogens. Her work has investigated these pathogens in various ecosystems, including riparian alder forests in western Oregon and restoration sites in California. Sims has studied methods for controlling *Phytophthora* in plant stock for habitat restoration and explored their pathogenicity to alder hosts. Her research also includes developing new detection methods for *Phytophthora*, such as training dogs to identify the pathogen. She has examined the susceptibility of various plant species, including rare California manzanita, to different *Phytophthora* species, noting that susceptibility can align with host ecology and history. Sims's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 9, with 18 total publications and 218 total citations.
