Expertise
Terrestrial and wetland plant ecology; soil microbiology and plant physiology; carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry.
Research and Scholarship
Research Interests
Primary research interests are in the effects of human-induced environmental change on the biogeochemistry of forests and saline, tidal wetlands (i.e., marshes and mangroves),
Current Research or Scholarship
Investigating the effects of sea-level rise and nutrient loading on carbon and nitrogen cycling in salt marshes and mangroves.
