ABOUT ME...
My primary research in my current position focuses on three main questions that span microbial to community to ecosystem ecology: 1) How do microbes influence plants? 2) How do plants influence microbes? And 3) what are the implications of climate and environmental change on these relationships? I use bioinformatics, citizen science, long term environmental monitoring, and field/lab experiments to evaluate controls on species' range limits and functioning along environmental gradients in natural, managed, and anthropogenically disturbed ecosystems. |
