I am a global change ecologist, broadly interested in how community and ecosystem responses to global change drivers are mediated by biotic factors. I investigate responses to global change drivers from multiple angles, including the roles that trophic interactions, symbioses, and diversity play in determining the effects of diverse global change factors, such as increased nutrient availability, consumer loss, altered climatic regimes, and species invasions.
Recent Happenings:
October 23-27: Second meeting of our LTER-funded Communities-to-Ecosystems (C2E) working group, this time in Fort Collins, CO. We're bringing together community empiricists and modelers to incorporate plant community changes into Earth systems models!
August 6-11, 2017: ESA annual meeting comes around again! Looking forward to lots of fun with friends discussing great science!
July 31-August 2, 2017: NutNet meeting time! Let's get ready for some serious brainstorming, data analysis, and paper writing!
July 2017: Working with summer intern Brian on investigating the role of diverse microbial communities in driving plant responses to drought!
