Welcome to the Soil Biogeochemistry Lab at UMT

We are interested in how terrestrial ecosystems function, how they are being affected by human activities, and the consequeces of environmental change for both humans and the ecosystems that we depend on.

Work in the Soil Biogeochemistry Lab spans a wide range of disciplines from soil biogeochemistry to microbial ecology to ecosystem science, and our projects vary in scale from plot-level studies investigating the effects of disturbance and global change on ecosystem processes to large-scale analyses of the biogoechemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus.
