Professor
Susan Harrison is professor, Department of Environmental Science and Policy, and director, UC Davis Natural Reserve System. Susan Harrison's fields of interest include plant ecology, diversity, and conservation. Her major area of emphasis is spatial ecology, which examines the influence of heterogeneous environments on populations, communities, and patterns of diversity. One current research project is on how the diversity of the endemic-rich plant communities on California's serpentine outcrops is shaped by the patchiness and heterogeneity of the environment. Another research effort concerns the effects of natural and human-caused climatic variation on edaphic endemic plant communities.
