We study how the function of ecosystems is structured by the interactions among plants, the soil and soil microbes. Projects include: What
controls methane dynamics in the rhizosphere of wetland plants? How important are gas diffusion
vs. microbial community properties for structuring rates of methane
consumption in upland soils? How is microbial
community structure related to its function? What does the carbon isotope composition of soil organic matter tell us about plant communities and decomposers across the Great Plains? |
