Plant Ecology - Alexander Lab
Welcome to the Plant Ecology Group
The Plant Ecology group at ETH, headed by Professor Janneke Hille Ris Lambers, comprises two groups led by Prof. Hille Ris Lambers and Dr. Alexander. Both groups merge field studies, manipulative experiments and mathematical theory to tackle topics in plant ecology including community assembly, responses to climate change, invasion biology, and phenology. Our teaching goals are to challenge students to move from a theoretical understanding of ecological processes to their application in the conservation and management of plant communities. We are committed to fostering diversity and inclusivity in all our activities, as well as in conducting open and collaborative science.
