Plant Ecology Laboratory
Research in our lab focuses on diversity patterns in biological communities, and on the interactions underlying these patterns. The main questions we address are: how do communities vary along natural gradients and gradients of human impact? What are the major assembly rules shaping communities; and are they attributable to biotic interactions or environmental heterogeneity? What are the roles of different biotic interactions - including competition, facilitation, herbivory and symbiosis - in structuring communities? Read more

The annual meeting of British Ecological Society
December 2017
Two of the members of Plant Ecology Lab participated in the annual meeting of British Ecological Society which was this year organized in collaboration with GFÖ, NecoV and EEF. Maarja Öpik gave oral presentation titled „Interactions between grassland plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are selective“and Kadri Koorem gave an oral presentation titled „Plant-soil feedback of range expanding plant species is influenced more by relatedness with the native species than by the origin of soil biota“. Thanks for the organizers, who packed the days between 11th to 14th of December in Ghent intensely with scientific talks and workshops! See more from the conference from Twitter.
