Marc Johnson is a professor of biology at the University of Toronto Mississauga.[1][2] He is the Canada Research Chair for Urban Environmental Science, and was the first Director of the Centre for Urban Environments from 2018-2023.[3][2][4][5][6]
Education
editJohnson 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
editJohnson'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]
