We are delighted to welcome Dr. Katherine Dearborn to the lab! Katherine recently completed her PhD at Queen’s University focusing on plant community composition and dynamics across alpine treelines in the Yukon. You can check out her research here. Katherine will be focusing her efforts on the Scotty Creek Forest Dynamics Plot, both understanding patterns and processes in this boreal peatland and also putting this into the global context of the Smithsonian Institute’s ForestGEO network.
