Teagan H. Young, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Associate in the School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics Sciences at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS). She earned her Ph.D. in Environmental Horticulture from the University of Florida in 2025, where her research examined the impacts of future climate conditions on urban tree performance and survival. Her research focuses on urban forestry, plant establishment, climate resilience, plant stress physiology, irrigation and water management, sustainable landscape practices, native plant propagation, and plant evaluation under changing environmental conditions. She combines field and greenhouse research to develop practical strategies for improving plant performance and long-term landscape sustainability. Dr. Young is also involved in Extension education, teaching, and workforce development, including the development of a statewide invasive plant management training and certification program. Her broader interests include native and underutilized plants, plant propagation and production, sustainable landscape design, invasive plant management, and translating research into practical recommendations for the green industry, municipalities, and natural-resource professionals.
