Eucalyptus

(Tasmania)

Does evolutionary history alter biodiversity and ecosystem function?

Project Description

Utilizing two model systems (30 Tasmanian species of eucalypts and ~30 species of Solidago from the southeastern U.S.) we are examining the roles of past evolutionary divergence to better understand and predict community and ecosystem responses to global change factors. More to come.

What We Do

The Schweitzer lab works at the most interesting place in ecology and evolution – the interface between above- and belowground processes in terrestrial ecosystems. We aim to be at the forefront of research in biodiversity studies emphasizing quantitative, experimental, and multidisciplinary approaches to fundamental ecological and evolutionary questions.
