Biography
American plant ecologist. Janice Bowers moved from California to Tucson, Arizona, in 1969 and graduated with a degree in botany from the University of Arizona in 1976. Since 1982 she has been stationed at the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill as a botanist with the United States Geological Survey. She devoted much of this time to collecting and identifying southern Arizona plants and has produced several local floras, most recently for the Huachuca Mountains on the United States-Mexican border. She is the author of four books of natural history essays and several historical accounts of the Desert Laboratory and co-author of Sonoran Desert Plants: an Ecological Atlas (2005) and The Changing Mile Revisited (2003). Her research has focused on the effects of climatic variability on population processes such as reproduction, establishment, and survival in woody desert plants, and has led to investigations of their seed banks and floral biology.
