FORMATION
  • Ph.D. en biologie, écologie végétale, 1990 (University of Calgary). Directeur : Dr. E.A. Johnson.
  • M.Sc. en géographie physique et biogéographie, 1983 (University of Calgary). Directeur : Dr. S.A. Harris.
  • B.Sc. en géographie physique, 1981 (University of California-Berkeley).
BIOGRAPHIE

Dr. Greene started working at Concordia in 1988. A forest ecologist, he studies seed production, seed abscission and dispersal, and germination, as well as broader issues in forestry and disturbance ecology. He is funded by NSERC and the Sustainable Forest Management Network, and is adjunct with Biology. He is probably best known for his micrometeorological models of wind-dispensed seeds that have been used extensively in forestry to ensure regeneration after logging.

THÈMES DE RECHERCHE

Dr. Greene research focused on reproductive biology -- pollen and seed production, abscission, and dispersal; germination and seedbeds -- as well as disturbance (especially fire and ice storms). He has ongoing projects in the boreal forest of Quebec and Alberta, treeline at Inuvik, the southern Canadian Rockies, and the state of Jalisco in Mexico.

Present Research Projects

  • Abscission of seeds and pollen.
  • Regional climate and the mass seeding of white spruce.
  • Modelling white spruce recruitment in small clearcuts.
  • The effect of post-fire salvage on tree recruitment
  • Determining whether trees in dry tropical forests have annual rings
  • Remote sensing of ovulate cone crops during mast years
