Research interests

I am interested in ecological and biogeochemical processes that determine ecosystem structure and functioning at local, regional and global levels. I conduct field studies in temperate forest and arctic tundra ecosystems aimed at developing mechanistic understandings of how ecosystems respond to climate change, air pollution and physical disturbance. I am particularly interested in how interactions among soil biota, plants and climate interact to determine ecosystem structure and stability.
