Forest Ecology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies forest trees at levels ranging from genes to ecosystems.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring forest diversity, from genes to communities.
The Forest Ecology Lab studies forest trees for the conservation of forests and of biodiversity.
Its research covers the structure, dynamics, and function of communities of trees, as well as the genetic diversity, reproductive ecology, ecophysiology, and biomass production of each tree species.
Spanning the broad research areas of ecology, population genetics, and ecophysiology, the lab investigates at various levels, from genes to individuals, populations, and communities and ecosystems.
Key terms
- Community
- A group of multiple species growing together in one place.
- Population genetics
- A field that studies how genetic differences are distributed and how they change within a population of the same species.
- Ecophysiology
- A field that studies how the functioning of organisms (their physiology) relates to their environment.
ResearchResearch themes
For the conservation of forests and biodiversity, the lab studies the structure, dynamics, and function of forest tree communities, as well as the genetic diversity, reproductive ecology, ecophysiology, and biomass production of each tree species. Using methods such as population genetics, population genomics, and tree physiology, it investigates at various levels, from genes to individuals, populations, and communities and ecosystems.
