The Westerband Lab

Research in my lab focuses on how plants acclimate (short-term) and adapt (long-term) their physiology and morphology in response to environmental stressors, including drought, deep shade, and low soil fertility. 

 

We use a combination of experiments, fieldwork, and modelling (population and statistical models) to understand how these changes impact ecological processes (at population and community scale) and plant performance.

**Our lab will be starting at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL) in the fall of 2024.**

I am seeking graduate students to start in the spring of 2025. If you are interested in applying, please reach out!
