Eric Griffin

Dr. Eric Griffin is an Assistant Professor of Biology at New Mexico Highlands University specializing in forest ecology, plant-microbe interactions, and community ecology. His research investigates how microbial communities mediate ecosystem processes, with projects examining foliar endophytes, plant-microbial interactions, and beta diversity patterns.

His publication history demonstrates a consistent focus on microbial mediation of ecological processes across forest and grassland ecosystems. Recent work explores endophyte diversity, plant-microbe-insect interactions, and biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships, with fieldwork conducted in temperate and tropical forests.
