The P. Zedler lab group, to the extent that it is organized, focuses on plant ecological studies related to ecosystem management, conservation, restoration, and disturbance ecology. The students in the lab are pursuing degrees in either Botany (where P. Zedler is an affiliate) or one of the graduate degree programs in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. Because of Paul Zedler’s position of Senior Scientist at the U. W. Arboretum, some students also do some or all of their research there. It should be noted that “lab” is somewhat virtual, as the students have offices in two buildings and do their work in Birge Hall, Science Hall, the Arboretum, and at various remote locations. For details on the activities of the lab and brief biographies of Paul Zedler and the students use the links provided above.
