Welcome to the Avolio Lab
|
We aim to understand the mechanisms by which humans directly and indirectly alter plant populations and communities and whether there are consequences for ecosystem function. The complex nature of these ecosystems requires a broad range of scientific investigation, allowing our lab to collaborate and build research communities. We work in both grassland and urban ecosystems.

Diversity & Inclusion
The Avolio Lab at Johns Hopkins University is committed to upholding the Diversity and Inclusion principles outlined by the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS), including the call to dismantle anti-Black and other forms of racism within EPS. We believe the most innovative science comes from diverse teams of scientists, and we strive to make researchers of all backgrounds feel welcome and respected. We are taking active steps to stop the damaging practices, behaviors, and biases that are maintained through inaction.
