The research group has particular interests in the role of soils in global change and in the application of stable isotope approaches to ecological research. Research is varied in scale, ranging from assessments of the carbon fluxes and inventories of terrestrial ecosystems, through to extracting nucleotide sequences from functional groups of soil bacteria. The research has pioneered techniques in the field tracing and measurement of carbon fluxes, and utilises state-of-the-art equipment based in both the laboratory and the field in order to identify and quantify major sources and sinks for the major ‘greenhouse’ gases.
Discoveries
We have pioneered stable isotope approaches to following the pathways and fate of carbon through plant-soil systems, identifying how these will change as the atmospheric CO2 concentration rise and also characterising the organisms involved in processing the carbon in the soil.
