of Interest
My current research focuses on the impacts of global
environmental change on terrestrial ecosystems. This
includes effects of climate change, elevated atmospheric
carbon dioxide, other air pollutants, land use/management,
fire and biotic invasion on health, biodiversity,
and sustainability of forest and grassland ecosystems
both in Minnesota and globally. This work simultaneously
attempts to bridge the fields of physiological, community,
ecosystem, landscape, and global ecology. We tend
to focus on the broad ecotone of central North America,
where boreal forests, northern hardwood forests, oak
woodlands/savannas, and grasslands converge and mix.
However, we are involved in projects that address
similar themes and issues in many other biomes and
geographic locations, including work in several other
continents (Australia, Europe, South America).
