Temperature Sensitivity of Substrate Decomposition from Enzymes to Microbial Communities
A recently funded project explores how substrate stoichiometry and architecture influence the C and N released via mineralization, and the temperature sensitivity of these fluxes. This avenue of research will ...

Linking Whole Ecosystem Stoichiometry to Individual-level Nutrient Dynamics
The availability of nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) constrains primary production in most ecosystems worldwide. As a consequence, the fluxes of N and P through ecosystems are tightly linked. Thus, ...

Vegetation and Moisture Heterogeneity as Influences on Mass and Energy Fluxes and Lower Boundary Layer Turbulence
In this project we are using a large eddy simulation model under "real" conditions in which I force the model with satellite imagery coupled with a land-surface model. In order ...

Soil Erosion as an Influence on Atmospheric CO2
Recent studies indicate that soil erosion may serve as a net sink for carbon, though this is an unresolved controversy in the literature. We have developed a user-friendly, spreadsheet-based model ...
