Forests to understand farms
Forests maintain high productivity through tight nutrient recycling and complex interactions above and belowground. Understanding how forests feed themselves can inform how we design sustainable, productive landscapes.

Studying forests to understand farms.
I'm an ecologist and biogeochemist. I look for natural experiments in forests, on farms, and anywhere else natural or built contrasts provide opportunity. I use metagenomics, stable isotopes, environmental analyzers, and a host of other tools to pursue the mechanisms beneath the phenomena we observe.
