BIO

M. Noelia Barrios-Garcia is a field ecologist broadly interested in the impacts of global change on community structure and ecosystem function. Her research focuses mostly on invasive species, climate change, and their interaction on community composition and associated ecosystem processes, to assist in predicting and mitigating their impacts. She approaches these topics by conducting observational studies, experiments, and literature reviews. She has studied a wide range of invasive species in Patagonia, Argentina, including pines (Pinus contorta), yellow jacket wasps (Vespula germanica), wild boar (Sus scrofa), deer (Cervus elaphus and Dama dama), and cattle (Bos taurus).

Area(s) of expertise

Instructional programs: Environmental Studies, Natural Resources
Research: Invasive species, climate change, community ecology, ecosystem ecology
