Research summary
AI-generated

Ranjan Muthukrishnan studies how ecosystems respond to environmental change, with a particular focus on invasive species that spread into new habitats (such as aquatic plants in lakes and rivers) and how factors like warming climate and nutrient pollution reshape plant communities. Much of this work uses large-scale ecological monitoring data (including from the National Ecological Observatory Network, or NEON) and computational modeling to understand patterns across regions and over time. The research spans freshwater, grassland, and coral reef ecosystems.
