Description Our group has evolved over 30 years, from a focus on the diversity, mapping and classification of vegetation to include additionally the taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of plant communities, the monitoring and ecological modelling of plant populations in the face of global change, and the study of genetic variation in plant populations. We use a range of botanical, statistical and laboratory techniques, modelling approaches and in-house and global databases of plant communities, and occurrences, sequence data, and climate. Students and professional researchers in our group contribute to field, laboratory, and computational research to further community classification and mapping, ecological analysis and modelling, and population genetic and evolutionary analyses, to strengthen the foundations for wise ecosystems management and conservation. |
