"Aquaterrestrial Biogeochemistry"
Nutrient cycling within and between dry soils and wet sediments.
In our lab we are broadly interested in 2 questions:
1. How do ecosystems retain and transform nutrients and energy?
2. How is the answer to Q1 changing as a result of human activities?
We study the movement of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus (and increasingly iron, sulfur, and trace metals) within and between forests, floodplains, wetlands and streams. Our research takes place in Appalachian forests, the floodplains of Glacier National Park as well as in the urban streams and forests of central NC and the agricultural fields and wetlands of NC's coastal plain.
