Dynamics of Natural Vegetation

The dynamics of natural vegetation is influenced by a complex web of interacting factors. Principle among these factors are climate, soils, disturbances and history. Our research aims to understand how these factors drive and constrain vegetation change. We use a range of methodologies that span population, community and ecoystem perspectives.

Current projects focus on the role of fire, climate and soils in regulating savannas, grassland-forest mosaics and wetland-savanna mosaics in tropical and subtropical systems. More information can be found under the specific research projects:
