I am an ecologist at the National Center for Ecological Analysis & Synthesis (NCEAS). My research interests span many topics in ecology, evolutionary biology, and related fields. Recent topics of interest include understanding global patterns and controls of nitrogen cycling, nitrogen fixation, plant growth, and ecosystem carbon storage. I use a variety of approaches to conduct my research, from mathematical models to field experiments to laboratory analysis to data synthesis.

News
August: New fieldwork paper out in Ecology on nitrogen fixation in Franz Josef, New Zealand. Here's the paper: Menge & Hedin.

October: New modeling paper out in American Naturalist on the ecosystem consequences of different plant N fixation strategies. Here are the paper: Menge, Levin, & Hedin and press release.

October: New modeling paper on oceanic N & P stoichiometry accepted by Limnology and Oceanography. Look for it (Ballantyne, Menge, & Weitz) coming out next year.

December: New review paper in Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics on the N paradox in tropical forests. Here's the paper: Hedin, Brookshire, Menge, & Barron.
