Our research explores two main questions:
1) How do disturbances interact with long-term environmental changes to affect ecosystem functions, specifically the loss, storage, and movement of carbon (energy) and nutrients within and among ecosystems?
2) How do disturbances drive changes in autotrophic, heterotrophic, and net ecosystem productivity and carbon storage?
In a community of scholars, ideas are like pieces of clay that we set on a table to allow others to pull on.
