The Cleveland Pocket Prairie Project is led by members of the Gardiner Lab, directed by Associate Professor and Extension State Specialist Mary Gardiner, Ph.D.
The Gardiner Lab studies the ecology and management of urban and agricultural habitats. We are particularly interested in how ecosystem management and landscape context influence relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem’s functions and services.
