About

Welcome to the Journal of Ecology blog! Journal of Ecology was established by the British Ecological Society in 1913 and rapidly became one of the most important outlets for cutting-edge research in plant ecology. The blog was launched as part of the celebrations for the Journal’s Centenary in 2012.

For the latest Journal of Ecology news follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or visit our homepage. You can also watch our videos on the Journal of Ecology YouTube Channel and listen to our podcasts on SoundCloud.

The British Ecological Society also publishes Journal of Animal Ecology, Journal of Applied Ecology, Functional Ecology, Methods in Ecology and Evolution, People and Nature & Ecological Solutions and Evidence.

The BES journals are published by Wiley and are available to read on Wiley Online Library.

My research focuses on how plants avoid or reduce abiotic stress.  I am primarily interested in the role of belowground structures, particularly storage organs of herbaceous perennial plants, as spatial and temporal avoidance strategies.  Herbaceous plants in seasonal climates use their belowground storage organs to keep and protect resources (especially water and carbohydrates) for seasonal regrowth and to survive recurrent disturbance or other damage.  This allocation is planned by the plant and different types of storage organs (and storage carbohydrates) can have different advantages depending on the stress and habitat.
