Education

Johnson obtained his Ph.D. in botany from the University of Toronto in 2007, after which he conducted a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellowship at Duke University. [1] [7]

Research

Johnson's research uses concepts and methods from genetics, ecology, evolution and chemistry to look at plants and plant-animal interactions and adaptations to urban environments. [5] [8] [9] His recent work under the Global Urban Evolution Project looked at white clover populations from 160 cities to investigate responses to urban environmental change. [6] [10] [11] [12] [13] Dr. Johnson has over 100 scientific publications. [1] [3] Most cited publications include; "Ecological consequences of genetic diversity", [3] "Evolution of life in urban environments", [3] "Assembly and ecological function of the root microbiome across angiosperm plant species". [3]
