Henry S. Horn is a natural historian and ecologist. He is an emeritus professor in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department at Princeton University. He has worked on a wide variety of topics including the following:
- the geometrical structure of forests[1]
- patterns of forest succession[2]
- wind dispersal of seeds[3]
- spatial patterns of competition[4]
- social behavior of butterflies
He is also one of several scientists to have proposed the intermediate disturbance hypothesis.[5]
