Faculty
| Dr.
Michelle C. Mack Assistant Professor of Ecosystem Ecology, Department of Botany 510 Carr Hall, (352) 846-2510 mcmack@botany.ufl.edu Curriculum Vitae Michelle Mack is interested in controls over ecosystem structure and function. If she were a plant, she would be a larch tree (Larix sp.). If she were an element, she would be something with a really conservative cycle, like neobidium. |
