We use a range of tools including large-scale experiments, remote sensing and field-based observations to understand terrestrial ecosystem function
Prescribed burning on oak savannas in Minnesota
Airborne remote sensing
Ground measurements of CO2 and H2O exchange
Our goal is to build a more robust biodiversity science by developing trait-based approaches to understand how plant communities will respond to global changes, and evaluate how the trait diversity-functioning relationships changes across ecosystems types.
