Read MoreWhich plant species and communities will persist in the future?
How will this alter the habitats and ecosystems that sustain us?
Can we use remote sensing to map and predict how the functional diversity of grasslands will respond to future climate change?
How do different phenological strategies of tropical trees contribute to their climate change resilience?
Can cattle grazing on California rangelands help restore native grass cover?
We study how terrestrial ecosystems are impacted by global change using boots-on-the-ground field measurements with remote-sensing observations.
We focus on plant interactions with their environment, and the role of biodiversity and plant traits in ecosystem functions.
We advance basic knowledge as a foundation to solve societal problems such as the irreplaceable loss of biodiversity and our planet’s rapidly changing climate.
We hope our work leads to a better place to live for all beings on Earth.

Read MoreUC Berkeley sits in the territory of xučyun (Huichin), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo speaking Ohlone people. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and other familial descendants of the Verona Band.
We recognize the history of the land on which we stand, and the Muwekma Ohlone people who are alive and flourishing members of the Berkeley and broader Bay Area communities today.
UC Berkeley is a land grant institution that was founded in 1868 on stolen Indigenous land. Learn about the history of land-grab universities and, more specifically, the founding of the University of California and efforts to motivate UC to take action regarding accountability to Indigenous peoples of California in a recent report “The University of California Land Grab: A Legacy of Profit from Indigenous Land—A Report of Key Learnings and Recommendations.” Learn more about xučyun, the home territory of the Chochenyo speaking Ohlone people here.
