Randy Long

Randy Long serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. His office is located in BoDine 219A (MSC: 53) and he may be contacted via email at rlong@lclark.edu. Dr. Long is dedicated to undergraduate education, employing diverse and innovative teaching methods to enhance student engagement and comprehension while continuously refining his pedagogical approach through qualitative and quantitative feedback analysis.

Dr. Long's research centers on plant ecophysiology, specifically investigating how intraspecific variation in plant functional traits both drives and is driven by biotic and abiotic interactions. He employs observational and experimental methodologies to evaluate local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental stressors including herbivory, salinity, and cold tolerance, with significant implications for understanding impacts on local biodiversity dynamics. His work bridges organismal physiology with ecological community patterns in changing environments.
