- How will climate change affect species persistence, richness and coexistence in plant communities?
- How can drought impacts be managed in an era of increasing climatic extremes? And what adaptations do plants posses to persist under combined drought and grazing pressure?
- What is the role of biotic interactions and biogeochemical processes in determining plant response to climate change?
- Will plant-plant and plant-soil biota interactions hinder or exacerbate plant response to climate change?
- Is phenotypic and genetic variation along environmental clines adaptive?
- How will climate change affect shrub-grass interactions in savanna ecosystems?
- How will the multilateral relationship between biodiversity, climate change, and society feedback on the social-ecological systems (SES)
- How does production of chemical defenses vary along climatic gradients and what factors drive glucosinolate production in different ecotypes
