معرفی
Brett A. Huggett is an Associate Professor of Biology and Department Chair at Bates College. He earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2013 and studies physiological adaptations of trees to environmental stressors.
His research examines plant water relations, xylem structure-function relationships, and carbon allocation patterns in response to drought, pathogens, and climate change. Huggett integrates anatomical and physiological approaches to understand tree health and forest ecosystem dynamics.
Huggett's publications investigate diverse aspects of tree biology including hydraulic network evolution in early vascular plants, nonstructural carbohydrate storage in oaks, pathogen impacts on pine physiology, and hydraulic architecture of cycads. His work spans evolutionary plant biology to contemporary forest responses to environmental change.
