Tussac grass is one of the most vital plant species in the Falklands and serves an important role by protecting the ground from erosion, providing food for livestock, sheltering animals from the persistent winds, and are critical breeding habitat for many of the islands\u2019 seabirds. Kayla\u2019s work supports ongoing work to understand how coastal Tussac grasslands responded to environmental change over the past 15,000 years in the Falkland Islands.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e\"]{margin-top:0px;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e\"]{text-align:left!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e\"]{text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1026_80a133-2e\">Kayla\u2019s work culminated in the presentation of a poster of her research at the annual\u00a0Harold W.
