Research Interests
I am a plant ecologist who is particularly interested in the cycling of nitrogen within plants and between plants and other organisms. I work on trees in forest ecosystems and on carnivorous plants in bog ecosystems and use stable isotopes to provide insight into the movement of nitrogen within and between organisms.
Current research students
Joni Cook (2010 – present): Carnivorous plant ecology
Andrew Pledger (2010 – present): Modification of stream beds by aquatic organisms
