Our research answers questions about plant responses to the environment across a variable and changing world. I focus primarily on carbon cycling in leaves - respiration and photosynthesis - how these fluxes vary under different settings and in different species, and the impact of these changes on the greater ecosystem. 

Explore research topics below. 

​Modeling the temperature response of respiration

Arabidopsis ecophysiology 

Light inhibition of leaf respiration

Environmental controls on Arctic plant gas exchange 

Phenology & forest carbon exchange

...and how exactly do you get leaves down from the top of the canopy?
