How do trees and soil microbial communities interact to control nutrient and carbon cycling across forests and changing environments? The lab studies forest carbon and nutrient cycling, focusing on mechanisms regulating plant and ecosystem gas exchange and belowground microbial controls on soil biogeochemistry. Researchers combine field measurements, soil and plant tissue analyses, and ecosystem-scale experiments to test how microbes and mycorrhizae influence tree physiology and ecosystem carbon dynamics. Projects investigate how belowground traits and microbial communities mediate responses to drought and shifts in forest composition. The group supports trainee-driven projects coupling fieldwork with biogeochemical and ecological modeling to understand ecosystem responses to environmental change.
