Welcome
Our lab works at the intersection of population and community ecology, focusing on how species interactions and climate change jointly influence plant population dynamics and distribution patterns. We use a combination of observational fieldwork, field- and greenhouse-based experiments, and modeling to explore how species interactions might impact future biodiversity patterns in a changing climate.
