Before Dr. Bussmann was director of William L. Brown Center at Missouri Botanical Garden and held appointments as Research Fellow in Geography and the Environment at University of Texas at Austin, as Associate Professor of Botany and Scientific Director of Harold Lyon Arboretum at University of Hawaii, and at University of Bayreuth from 1994 to 2003. His work focuses on ethnobotanical research, and the preservation of traditional knowledge, in mountain regions. He has authored over 400 peer reviewed papers, over 1300 peer reviewed book chapters, and authored or edited 38 books.
