Seminar Sept 4 by Susan Harrison, UC on Climate as a Driver of Declining Plant Community Diversity

Welcome to a seminar on “Climate as a Driver of Declining Plant Community Diversity (…and a small ray of hope)” organized by Bolin Centre for Climate Research – Research Area 8<br /><br />Speaker: Susan Harrison, UC Davis, California, USA<br /><br />Time: Monday 4 Sept 2017, 14:00-15:00 <br /><br />Location: P building, room 216 <br /><br /><br />Host: Johan Ehrlén<br /><br /><br />Professor Harrison’s research seeks to understand the processes that shape and maintain plant species diversity at the landscape scale, where small-scale forces such as competition and facilitation interact with large-scale forces such as niche evolution and dispersal. Much of her recent work focuses on the impacts of climatic drying on grassland community diversity.<br /><br />For more info about the Harrison lab, see: <a href="http://desp.ucdavis.edu/people/susan-p-harrison" target="_blank">http://desp.ucdavis.edu/people/susan-p-harrison</a>
