Welcome to the Plant Ecology Modelling Group

We are a research group studying plant ecophysiology and the ways plant adapt to global change through process based vegetation models. We combine ecological biogeochemical knowledge to create better predictions of the Earth’s future.

We are part of the Discipline of Botany in the School of Natural Sciences at Trinity College Dublin. We are part of the Climate + Biodiversity + Water Co-centre and are funded through the SFI Frontiers for the Future programme.

We are a vibrant and international team and take pride in inclusivity and diversity. You can read about our commitment to these values and how we work together in our Code of Conduct.
