Our Research. 

Research in the Northern EDGE Lab is focused on how species' distributions are actually responding to global change. We are particularly interested in indirect climatic effects (like climate-induced changes to disturbance regimes) and non-climatic effects (like substrate limitations) on species' range limits. What we find really exciting are all of the unexpected constraints on range expansions caused by species' interactions. Check out our Team page and Publications to see what we are and have been up to. While these themes are the main focus of the lab, we are interested in a diversity of research topics related to biogeography, plant ecology, arctic ecosystems...have an idea? Get in touch!
