My research applies the framework of ecological stoichiometry to explore how ecosystem biogeochemistry, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning influence, and are influenced by, interactions between resource availability and the elemental composition of organisms. My PhD thesis focused on nutrient and hydrologic cycling within terrestrial ecosystems to assess how nutrient and water availability may affect food web structure and multitrophic dynamics. My research includes stable isotope analysis as a potent tool for identifying nutrient sources and disentangling trophic pathways of energy and matter within ecosystems.
I am also interested in the effects of global environmental change on biogeochemical cycling by altering element ratios of multiple ecosystem components, such as soil, autotrophs, consumers, decomposers, and detritus. Of particular interest are the links between nutrient availability and stoichiometric constraints on invasive species, and the effects of biological invasions on pools and fluxes of elements across ecosystems. My research should help advance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of consumer elemental stoichiometry, stoichiometric constraints operating on consumer-resource interactions, and their influence on fluxes and stores of energy and multiple chemical elements within ecosystems.
I have done additional research on the understanding of the influence of habitat structure on species diversity and conservation.
