Every plant in the surrounding landscape has fought, migrated, and evolved to survive. In the Great Basin, plant communities are diverse and resilient, and Elizabeth Leger’s research lab is focused on understanding what enables individual plants to thrive despite drought, invasion, fire, and grazing pressure.
