Research description

Sally is an ecosystem ecologist with expertise in evaluating species, community and ecosystem responses to global change. Her research has contributed to advances in understanding of the mechanisms by which climate change affects plant community composition, plant-soil feedbacks and ecosystem function in grassland, heathland and woodland ecosystems. Her recent research activities have focused on evaluating physiological, morphological and biochemical responses to climate extremes, including implications for plant-insect interactions within agro-ecosystems.
