| Research/Extension Interests: | My primary research focus is ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry of forested systems, although past and current work spans many aspects of plant ecology. Much of my research involves quantifying pools, fluxes and allocation of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems to examine their plasticity and response to a suite of global change variables. Specifically, I am interested in how climate change, invasive species, disturbances, and other global change variables impact plant-soil-atmosphere exchanges of carbon, water, and nutrients. In addition, I am interested in restoration ecology from the standpoint of restoring ecosystem processes and services on degraded lands. |
