Jeffrey Corbin
Associate Professor
Ph.D. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1998
Research Interests: I am a plant ecologist who studies questions at the intersection of community and ecosystem ecology. I have investigated how species traits can be used to predict the outcomes of competitive interactions, how plant community composition interacts with ecosystem processes and how ecological knowledge and theory can inform restoration practices.
