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.
