Recent ResearchAbiotic-biotic interactions in ecosystems; ecosystem nutrient cycling (N fixation, weathering, nutrient accumulation); sources and sinks of phosphorus in the landscape, wetlands, and riparian areas. Research InterestsMany of our resource problems today involve multiple disciplines as well as a variety of spatial scales. My work has attempted to include both of these issues to address the sources, transformation, transport and loss of major nutrient elements. The term biogeochemistry captures some of the natural resource disciplines involved, but its traditional ecosystem perspective needs to be expanded to larger spatial and time scales.
