Moore, a professor of environmental horticulture at the Fort Lauderdale Research Education Center, does research focused on nutritional management strategies for greenhouse crops. She is studying alternative growing substrates, like compost and the use of reclaimed water to grow containerized ornamental plants. Moore, who has been at the University of Florida since 1995, has studied the effects of saltwater intrusion on containerized plants.
