How important of phenotypic plasticity under global change for plant species? What makes invasive alien plant species successful? How do species interactions shape climate change responses? I use field experiments, greenhouse experiments, and analysis of synthesized large dataset that can test hypotheses and quantify processes at different spatial and temporal scales.

Plant Ecology Research Group, Oxford. The plant ecology research group deals with all aspects of plant ecology and is led by Lindsay Turnbull. We are based at the Department of Plant Sciences. University of Oxford, UK. For more details of the programme. The New Statistics with R. To download data files and R scripts. And has a new blog post. Congratulations to Emma, .

In which a plant ecologist explores botany, fiber arts, and other interesting roadside attractions. Sunday, January 2, 2011. So that it is on the same account as my facebook account. Hope to see you there! Monday, October 4, 2010. Well the summer has passed. And fall is upon us. And while change is hard, in the end it will be good. Monday, June 21, 2010. I expect that there will posts without photos.

Plant Ecology in a Changing World. Biomes and Climates of the World. Adaptation, biodiversity, and environment. Grassland, savanna, and shrub biomes. Photosynthesis responses to light and temperature. Water movement through the soil-plant continuum. Environmental stresses limit resource capture and use.

What we do and how we do it. We research many aspects of the dynamic interactions. Between plants and their environment with a special emphasis on water and carbon fluxes. Our projects include work on crops and trees in both man-made and natural ecosystems. Our research activities range from ecophysiology. To the structure and function of plants. And the role of plants in the global water and carbon cycle. We study the dynamic plant- environment interplay.
