Research interests:

My research interests lie at the intersection between basic biogeochemical research and global change biology. By bringing together skills in both biogeochemistry and plant ecology, I am focused on accomplishing three central goals:

  1. Understand how belowground plant and microbial dynamics mediate ecosystem processes in dryland ecosystems;
  2. Identify possible feedback mechanisms between plant and soil processes that may be sensitive to global change;
  3. Bridge basic and applied ecological research to influence natural resource management, specifically with applications to climate change and land-use change.
These goals arise from the need to understand and predict how vegetation and ecosystems will respond to both natural and anthropogenic environmental changes in the coming decades and century.
