Janet Prevéy, PhD
Janet Prevéy is a Biologist at the Fort Collins Science Center, whose research focuses on how environmental changes affect vegetation dynamics and phenology across different spatial and temporal scales.
Janet Prevéy is a global change ecologist who synthesizes information from reciprocal transplant studies, manipulative experiments, community scientists, satellite imagery, and long-term monitoring plots to explore how environmental changes influence vegetation dynamics and phenology across different spatial and temporal scales. She seeks to understand how climatic conditions, genetic adaptations, and biotic interactions can differentially influence species’ phenological responses, and how these differences can ultimately determine community and ecosystem responses to environmental change.
