World-leading researcher on the ecosystem carbon cycle, and among the most highly-cited researchers in ecology. co-founder of the ForHot site.

The complicated role soil microbiota play in the ecosystem carbon cycle Microbial community analysis and next-generation sequencing.

Studies (i) ecosystem response to climate change (ii) nutrient impacts on ecosystem functioning, (ii) plant-soil interactions, (iii) plant ecophysiology and stoichiometry.

Focuses is on belowground carbon and nutrient cycling of terrestrial ecosystems, root foraging strategies driven by relationships between roots and their associated bacteria, archaea and mycorrhizae in ecosystem adaptation to environmental change.
