The St. Clair lab is looking for a PhD student to join our multi-institutional, long-term desert research in the Mojave and Great Basin Deserts. Current studies are exploring a wide diversity of processes including plant invasions, pollination biology, plant-animal interactions including ants, soil crusts and microbial ecology, vegetation-climate interactions … More
A special issue of Forest Ecology and Management this year covers Resilience in Quaking Aspen: restoring ecosystem processes through applied science. It was edited by Sam St.Clair and Paul Rogers and features authors from the St. Clair lab.
The St.Clair lab of Plant Ecology integrates, physiological, community and ecosystem ecology to understand how plant-environment interactions affect plant community development and ecosystem stability. Major research themes include disturbance and invasion ecology, plant-animal interactions with a focus on herbivory and pollination biology, plant-plant interactions (facilitation and competition), plant-soil feedbacks, and global … More
