Project
Changes in the stress sensitivity of plants and ecosystems in a future climate.
This project examines whether the resistance of plant communities and their composing species to stress will change in a future climate. Specifically, whether a future climate:1) modifies the dose-response of stressors2) modifies synergistic or anatagonistic effects between stressors3) changes the influence of neighbours on the stress response of individuals.
