Description: Dr. Doug Larson at the University of Guelph heads a team of scientists devoted to studying the ecology of cliffs.
Dr. Doug Larson | Faculty | Integrative Biology | University of Guelph Why is it that plants can survive in extreme environments that are largely unsuitable for humans? I had an opportunity to address this question by working on the tundra near Hudson's Bay when I was an undergraduate then graduate student at McMaster University. This work provided a partial, physiologically-based answer to the question. After I joined the Botany Department of the University of Guelph, I expanded the scope of my investigations to include other processes and habitats. Now I use an ecosystem approach, concentrating on cliff and alvar environments in eastern North America, to unravel the web of complex physiological, morphological and behavioural mechanisms used by plants to thrive in these hostile environments.
