I am driven to uncover global patterns and mechanisms regarding nutrient cycling and biogeochemistry, and to address their subsequent implications for climate change. Discerning global patterns of ecosystem function has remained a challenge in ecosystem ecology; however, overcoming this challenge is vital for making global scale predictions of ecosystem responses to rising carbon dioxide levels and expected climate change. I use meta-analysis and modeling techniques to understand how nutrient interactions affect the response of terrestrial ecosystem to changing element distributions.
