McLachlan Lab

McLachlan Lab

Forest Ecology, Statistical Modeling, and Paleoecology at the University of Notre Dame

Research in the McLachlan Lab focuses on the dynamics of plant populations faced with large scale environmental change. The abundance, distribution and, in many cases, survival of species in the next century will be shaped by an unprecedented combination of human land-use, climate change, and changing atmospheric chemistry. Anticipating these trends is difficult, but we can often gain insight by e
