Attempts to model the effects of global change are inhibited by a lack of information about how individual plant and animal species will respond. One way of reducing the problem is to develop models ...

Common themes include plant-soil feedbacks, functional traits, species effects on ecosystem processes, and non-linear and threshold dynamics. Suding, K.N., K.L. Gross, and G. Houseman. 2004.

My research is focused on the effects that functional traits have ... lends itself well to analyzing the plant-insect interactions and their variability over the warming period. As a limnologist, I ...

Beyond the temperate, deciduous forested systems that surround us in the Lake Superior region, we explore the interactions of climate, plant functional groups, and carbon cycling in peatlands.

As part of the centre there is a separate functional plant ecology reference collection with herbarium specimens, leaf impressions, seeds, and an ecological database.

Of these ecosystems, those dominated by plants (e.g., tundra ... Habitat heterogeneity and the functional significance of fish in river food webs. Ecology 73, 1675-1688 (1992).

The degree to which these omnivores feed upon plant versus prey resources determines their functional role as functional ... by western flower thrips. Ecology 80, 518-523 (1999).

functional diversity, topography, and soil in a tropical forest across spatial scales, Forest Ecology and Management (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2024.122457 ...

The study focused on how topographic complexity affects the functional and phylogenetic diversity of plant communities. To unravel the ecological dynamics, the team analyzed plant communities ...
