Expertise

Enebak is an expert in forest pathology, mycology, forest regeneration and forest-seedling production systems.

Research Interests: Southern Piedmont grassland community structure and functioning under future climate scenarios of elevated tropospheric ozone and altered rainfall amounts; Quantifying urban forest structure, functioning and economic value in a small, expanding southern metropolis.

Research Interests: Currently researching various biological and alternative disease control treatments for fungal diseases of forest and shade trees. Primary area of interest is the use of soluble silicon as a therapeutic and prophylactic disease control treatment in forest-tree nurseries as well as biocontrol of soil-borne pathogens in forest tree nurseries. Another area of research interests includes the use of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) for disease control and growth promotion in forest tree nurseries as well as increasing outplanting survival.
