In the 1980s we had the privilege of starting research in an unstudied, 100,000 hectare reserve in northwest Belize. Our research on the forest has followed a necessary sequence of questions: 1) what tree species are present, 2) what patterns of abundance do tree species exhibit across the landscape and through time; 3) what are the causes or correlates of those patterns; and 4) what changes can we predict in these forests due to climate change?
Prof Nick Brokaw, our speaker, began his career researching tropical plants in Panama. He did his Phd at the University of Chicago. Since then he has mainly worked in Puerto Rico and Belize where he has focused on forest structure, forest dynamics, species composition and land-use history.
Sheila Ward, co-speaker, is a researcher on genetic resources of the Meliaceae, forest dynamics and species distributions in the Yucatan, Mexico and Puerto Rico. Both speakers are from the University of Puerto Rico-Río Piedras.
