INTRODUCTION TO THE LAB


Our group is dedicated to improving understanding of ecological processes that comprise terrestrial ecosystem function. Key processes studied include the cycling of carbon, nitrogen and water, with particular emphasis on the roles of vegetation in these cycles. We are also interested in plant trait variation as it relates to environmental variability and the influence of humans on the biosphere. We work at many spatial and temporal scales, in a variety of ecosystems, and across a wide range of human influence on ecosystem structure and function. Stable isotopes form an important tool in the lab's toolbox, along with a range of other instruments and equipment.
