About
I am an ecosystem ecologist interested in the role of biogeochemistry in carbon-climate feedbacks and ecosystem function. My research spans spatial scales and biomes as I work in tropical and temperate wet forests to understand how abiotic factors influence carbon cycling and function. Some of my work includes a vertical dimension as I study the biogeochemical and ecological roles of canopy soils.
