​Dr Elizabeth (Lizzie) Wandrag
​
​I am a plant community ecologist with a particular interest in the role of species interactions in determining the distribution and abundance of plant species. ​In September 2020 I joined the Department of Biology at the University of York  as a Lecturer in Global Change Biology. At York, I am also a member of the Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene Biodiversity. See here for more about me.
