The St. Clair Lab of Plant Ecology

About the lab

The St.Clair lab of Plant Ecology integrates, physiological, community and ecosystem ecology to understand how plant-environment interactions affect plant community development and ecosystem stability. Major research themes include disturbance and invasion ecology, plant-animal interactions with a focus on herbivory and pollination biology, plant-plant interactions (facilitation and competition), plant-soil feedbacks, and global change biology.

Current projects are located in forest and desert ecosystems of western North America.
