About

Two speakers connect field observations in Peru and Iceland with botanical diversity and changing landscapes.

Faye Pearson presents botanical observations from the south-east Peruvian Amazon and Andean cloud forest. Charles Shi discusses how geology, climate and human activity shape Iceland’s vegetation, including conservation and restoration challenges. The source presents these as two talks within one KMIS lecture evening.
