Peter Edwards is professor of plant ecology at ETH Zurich. He obtained his PhD degree from Cambridge University for a thesis entitled ‘Nutrient cycling in a New Guinea montane rain forest’. From 1973-1993 he lectured at Southampton University in England. During this period he developed his interest in multidisciplinary research, and was a director of the GeoData Institute, a contract agency undertaking environmental research. He has published over 200 scientific papers and several books. His research focuses on large-scale processes in terrestrial ecosystems, including interactions between large herbivores and vegetation, the ecology of river flood-plains, biodiversity in agricultural landscapes and patterns of plant invasions.
