OverviewAI-generated summary
Mary C. Knapp's research focuses on plant genetics and adaptation, particularly in grassland ecosystems. Her work investigates the genetic divergence of dominant prairie grasses, such as Andropogon gerardii, across environmental gradients in the U.S. Midwest and Great Plains. Knapp studies how ecotypes of these grasses exhibit local adaptation to varying precipitation and climate conditions, with implications for grassland restoration in the context of climate change. Her publications also explore the impact of genetic variation on seasonal life history plasticity and the assessment of climate risks for agricultural crops like winter wheat. Knapp has also contributed to research on estimating solar irradiance for crop modeling and understanding the influence of environmental factors on insect populations.
