About

The Plant Population Ecology Section (PPE) is an interactive group that promotes research, teaching, and communication.   Each year PPE funds travel awards to student section members presenting at the Annual ESA Meeting and presents the “Postdoctoral Excellence Award” to recognize an outstanding recent publication in the PPE field.  PPE awards and social mixers are funded through section dues and monies raised through PPE’s Silent Auction at the Annual ESA Meeting. Exciting recent work by our young members is regularly showcased on our website and through social media. Come join and network with other enthusiastic plant population ecologists!
