Professor
Ian Wright
FAA
Ian Wright is an internationally renowned plant ecologist. He is known for his global scale analysis of plant traits; for quantifying how climate and soils influence plant function; and for using concepts from human economics to understand plant evolution and ecology. His work on a worldwide ‘leaf economic spectrum’ is standard in scientific textbooks, and has been applied to improve the models used to predict shifts in vegetation distribution and function under future climate change.
