Biodiversity of Rocky Mountain Alpine Plant Communities – Bozeman

Tuesday, March 10 at 7 pm in Room 108 of the Plant Bioscience Building on the MSU campus

We know many plant species are responding to changes in climate by moving upward in elevation or latitude, but we know less about what alpine species are doing. By comparing communities along either side of the Continental Divide, we may gain some insights into climatic and latitudinal effects on alpine plant community composition, as well as expanding range knowledge of some rare species.

Presenter Carly Segal is a PhD student at Montana State University who will share her research questions, some alpine plant ecology, and early biodiversity insights across her study area.

Room 108 of the Plant Bioscience Building – it’s on the west side of 11^th Avenue on the MSU campus – parking could not be more convenient.
