Linda van Diepen
My research interests lie in the field of ecosystem science with a focus on the role of the microbial community in biogeochemical processes such as nutrient and carbon cycling. I am interested in understanding the responses of an ecosystem to various disturbances and how soil processes and plant-microbe interactions mutually control these ecosystem responses.

Received grant from JGI Community Sequencing Program of DOE to support research on sequencing microbial community composition and gene expression in response to climate change. This research takes place at Harvard Forest LTER in three long-term soil warming experiments.
