We study of the interactive effects of vegetation and climate change on plant & ecosystem function to inform forecasting and decision makers.

We are biogeographers
We study the distribution of species and ecosystems across geographic space and through geologic time. To understand historic, current, and future distributions, you have to know about the climate, the sensitivities of  organisms to environmental stressors, how efficiently each uses resources, and how the species interact with one another. 

We are ecologists and plant physiologists
We examine these
interactions among organisms and their environment, working across the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum.

We are ecosystem scientists
We make use of multi-scale approaches to quantify patterns of carbon & water flux in space and time using a suite of traditional and new technologies.
