I have worked on projects examining cycles of C, N, and Ca across forests of different ages and land-use histories in New England. Currently, my PhD research is focused on using stable C and N isotopes to estimate the magnitude of fluxes of C and N between trees and mycorrhizae across a N-cycling gradient at the Bartlett Experimental Forest. I plan on extending this work to the new N+P fertilization experiment at Bartlett and Hubbard Brook. I am working at the UNH Stable Isotope Lab with Erik Hobbie and Andy Ouimette on this project.
