 In the Systems Ecology Laboratory (SEL) we focus on understanding the biocomplexity associated with environmental change and plant and ecosystem structure and function in extreme environments – namely Arctic tundra and the Chihuahuan Desert. Research Interest Areas: Climate change, Arctic and Antarctic ecology, desert ecology, biogeochemical cycling, plant phenology and primary productivity, plant-animal interactions, land use and land cover change, biocomplexity, landscape ecology, remote sensing, ecological modeling and disturbance ecology. | Craig E.
