Main research topics

Howard Griffiths is interested in the diversity of natural vegetation that is caused by changing environmental conditions. His aim is to discover the physiological traits that confer acclimation and adaptation in extreme environments. To this end Howard makes use of biochemical tools and C02 arrays to investigate photosynthetic activities.
