Research in the Hille Ris Lambers Plant Ecology group is broadly focused on 1) the implications of environmental change for plant populations and communities; and 2) the drivers of plant community structure. We combine observational data, experiments, and statistical modeling to address questions of interest, which are always motivated by theory. Much of our research takes place in mountains (both in Switzerland and Washington State, USA), which we consider a ”Natural Laboratory” for climate change research.
