Biography

Boyd is a plant ecologist with a strong research focus on fire ecology and arid Australian ecosystems. He is particularly interested in how arid zone fires influence ecosystem processes and drive trait evolution in plants. In another life, he works as an interpreter and translator for Aboriginal tribal groups of west-central Australia and the Gibson Desert. With these people, he conducts research on ethnobotany, language and edible insects.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
