Linking fire regimes to plant ecology

The Crandall Fire Ecology Lab at the University of Florida uses observations, experiments, and modeling to answer fire ecology and management questions.

 

Our goals are to:

  1. Understand the mechanisms by which fires influence plant population dynamics and cause resulting community patterns in plant species diversity and composition

  2. Foster communication between fire professionals and the public by increasing trust and access to fire science education

Would you like to collaborate or join our diverse, inclusive team?

We welcome collaborators and students who would like to bring their unique perspective to our team at the University of Florida. We have paid undergraduate research positions available, and when funding is available, we will advertise postdoctoral and graduate research positions.

Check out our wiregrass blog

We are sharing recent research and our restoration trials and tribulations as we restore our first 10 acres. If you love wiregrass as much as we do (or even half as much as we do), please consider joining our community and contributing a guest blog. We would love to hear about your wiregrass observations and successes!
