The Group is in the Botany&Zoology Department, Stellenbosch University, South Africa. We research adaptive biological responses to climate & global change.
This page is a place to share ideas and new research findings, and post about developments in the areas of climate and global change, particularly by students and affiliates of the GCBG. The main focus is on biological impacts and adaptive responses, but the context of human domination of the planet's resources, biodiversity and ecosystem processes is always a backdrop.
