Main research topics
Edmund Tanner is interested in analysing factors that limit tropcal growth such as water, temperature, light and nutrients. It is of interest to see what effect the removal of leaf litter has upon tree growth; work on this is carried out in Panama. Forest dynamics are also being studied in Jamaca, and the impact of natural events such as hurricanes are being accessed.
