Collapse ▲Natural Vegetation of North Carolina: Patterns, Processes, and Biodiversity
North Carolina is one of the most biologically rich and complex regions of North America. Using the U.S. National Vegetation Classification as an organizing theme, we will examine the range of vegetation composition and dynamics for natural communities across the state. Summary information on the environmental and ecological processes influencing vegetation composition and dynamics will provide a broad understanding of the spectrum of natural communities and the conservation challenges they present. In addition, for each of the four physiographic regions of the state (Mountains, Piedmont, Coastal Plain and Coastal Fringe) we will look in depth at factors influencing one particular set of related communities.
Presenter: Dr. Robert Peet
Research Professor, Department of Biology UNC-Chapel Hill
Robert Peet joined the UNC-CH faculty in 1975 and is currently Research Professor of Biology. His research on the vegetation of the Southeastern United States includes the long-term dynamics of Southeastern forests, impacts of human-altered hydrology on floodplain ecosystems, compositional variation in fire-maintained Coastal Plain pinelands, and more generally factors influencing the composition and species diversity of terrestrial plant communities across the region. He is one of four primary coordinators of the Carolina Vegetation Survey, a 30-year effort to document and better understand vegetation of the Carolinas.
