Hubbard Brook Role:

Investigator, Scientific Coordinating Committee

Research Interests:

Research in my lab is focused on the effects of environmental change, including climate change, atmospheric deposition, and urbanization on biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen in natural and managed ecosystems. We explore how plant-microbial interactions influence carbon exchange, nitrogen retention, forest productivity, and water and air quality. We are also interested in cross site comparisons that examine the role of plant species composition and ecosystem type in determining ecosystem retention of nutrients and carbon. Current projects at Hubbard Brook include examining the effects of climate change on nutrient uptake and carbon sequestration in northern hardwood forests.
