Advancing Ecology through Empirical Tests of Fundamental Theory 

Schnitzer Lab at Marquette University

The Schnitzer Lab tests basic theory in ecology using large-scale, long-term experimental and observational field studies. We conduct most of our current research in tropical forests of Panama. We have also worked in forests of Costa Rica, French Guiana, Malaysian Borneo, and Ecuador, as well as temperate forests and grasslands of North America.
