An ecosystem ecologist interested in how environmental change affects plant, animal and microbial communities. Using knowledge gained from fundamental research into organisms' responses to environmental changes I aim to improve our management of degraded ecosystems

Research associate.
Setting up and analysis of field and glasshouse experiments that examine the response of ecosystems and their constituent parts to environmental change. Mathematical modelling of ecosystem responses taking into account biodiversity.
Field, mathematical, and statistical skills.

Continued investigations into how environmental change will affect ecosystem function and service provision.

Intervention ecology: managing ecosystems in the 21st Century

Restoration of degraded land

In chronological order:
Mathematical model of the coupled cycles of nitrogen and phosphorus in ecosystems, focusing on the response of phosphorus to increased availability of nitrogen.
How to remove phosphorus from ecosystems to promote plant species richness.
Responses of ecosystems to carbon dioxide increases and climate changes.
How biodiversity mediates environmental changes.
Restoration of ecosystem function to degraded land.
