Robin Chazdon

Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Robin Chazdon has studied regrowth, or secondary growth tropical forests since 1991. Her recent research, supported by the National Science Foundation, shows that seedlings and saplings of tree species from original growth tropical forests in Costa Rica are finding suitable habitats in regrowth areas. Her research demonstrates that regrowth areas are important for recovering biodiversity.
