Marlyse Duguid is a plant community ecologist, forester, field botanist, and horticulturist. Marlyse currently serves as the Thomas G. Siccama Senior Lecturer at Yale School of the Environment, and the Director of Research for Yale Forests. She has served on the board of directors for SER-NE since 2019. As a researcher, she is interested in the interactions between human land-use and ecosystem structure and function. Some current projects examine how acute (e.g., forest harvesting) and chronic (e.g., global change, biological invasions) anthropogenic disturbances affect plant communities and other non-target organisms (e.g., pollinators, amphibians, birds). How the cultivation of native understory medicinal plants (forest farming) can be used as both a restoration practice to promote plant conservation as well as farmer livelihoods.
