The Ecological Horticulture Lab is in the
Department of Natural Resources
and Environmental Sciences at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The intent of this lab is
to strengthen the
connection between horticulture and ecology using a
multi-faceted approach, including ecophysiological,
whole-plant, and molecular methods.
Within this endeavor, some research topics include determining
what makes a plant species invasive, finding and studying rare
or otherwise unknown woody plant species that may be tolerant
of stresses found in urban landscapes, and determining
propagation protocols for difficult-to-germinate prairie
species for use in restoration efforts as well as landscape
settings.
