Ehren R. Moler

I am a terrestrial ecology researcher and educator specialized in plant ecophysiology, community ecology, genetics, and agroecology. I seek to conserve and restore plant and plant-associated biodiversity through ecological restoration in settings ranging from forests in the Rocky Mountains to desert agricultural fields in California. I am also passionate about supporting educational programming and sustainable development in developing regions of the world.

Talk Title: Science Meets Practice in Ecosystem Restoration and Biodiversity Conservation

My research interests are the result of exploring numerous science-based approaches to achieving biodiversity conservation. Professional positions in industry, academia, and the nonprofit sectors, and collaboration with researchers in Africa, Canada, Mexico, and across the USA has led me to prioritize the study of plant regeneration and plant-associated biodiversity. In this talk, I will highlight emerging ecological challenges and the role of plant regeneration research in facing those challenges.
