Research

Current Research:

I am studying the influence of soil geomorphology on biogeochemical and plant responses across ecosystems of the North Pacific coastal temperate rain forest.

Research Interests:

My current research consists of two programs that are addressing key coastal forest issues. The first is developing carbon cycle budgets that incorporate both long-term terrestrial stocks and the gaseous and dissolved carbon fluxes within them. The second research program is investigating the mechanisms involved in the widespread decline of yellow-cedar and the implications for plant communities and watersheds.

Why Is Research Important:

Coastal margins are a key area of terrestrial and aquatic change due to variations in short and long-term climate. The underlying soil component influences key drivers such as moisture and temperature; understanding the varying effect of these environmental drivers can assist land managers and researchers in understanding ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling and plant growth.
