Research Summary

Our research aims to illuminate the future of ecosystems in a changing climate. We study how drought and climate change affect forest ecosystems, including tree physiology, species interactions, carbon cycling, nature-based climate solutions, and biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks. This research spans a broad array of spatial scales from xylem cells to ecosystems and seeks to gain a better mechanistic understanding of how climate change will affect forests around the world.

Biography

My research centers around the intersection of ecosystems and climate change. In particular, I strive to understand the future of Earth’s forests in a changing climate. I study how drought and climate change affect forest ecosystems, including tree physiology, carbon cycling, nature-based climate solutions, and biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks. This research spans a broad array of spatial scales from cells to ecosystems and seeks to gain a better mechanistic understanding of how climate change will affect forests and society around the world.
