Research summary
AI-generated

Michael L. Moody studies the evolution, diversity, and adaptation of plants, using genetic and genomic data to understand how species respond to their environments. Much of the work focuses on wetland and Arctic plants, examining topics such as adaptation to aquatic habitats, responses to warming, and the historical distribution of species over time. The publication record also includes some documentation of plant species and floristic inventories.
