… to Roy Turkington’s lab website. We are based in the Department of Botany and the Biodiversity Research Center at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, British Columbia. The lab has undertaken plant ecology research in the Kluane region of the Yukon, the Garry Oak meadows on Vancouver Island, the grasslands of the southern interior of British Columbia, the Negev desert in Israel, and the forests of southern China. Currently, my major collaborators are Dr. Lauchlan Fraser at Thompson Rivers University, BC, Canada, and Professor Zhou Zhe-khun at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and the Kunming Institute of Botany, Yunnan Province, China. Please use the links above to learn more about our work and collaborators.
