The overall goal of my proposed research is to substantially advance our understanding of how arctic tundra ecosystems function. As an ecosystem ecologist, I study how plants interact with animals, with the soil and soil microbes, as well as with the atmosphere in ways that significantly influence biogeochemical cycling and therefore ecosystem functioning. The context for this approach is that understanding the functioning of the system is necessary to be able to predict its responses to perturbations such as climate change. Over the next five years, I will have 3 main research objectives:

我所提议的研究的总体目标是实质性地推进我们对北极苔原生态系统功能的理解。 作为一名生态系统生态学家，我研究植物如何与动物，土壤和土壤微生物以及大气相互作用，从而显着影响地球化学循环，从而影响生态系统功能。 这种方法的背景是，了解系统的运作是必要的，以便能够预测其对气候变化等扰动的反应。 在未来的五年里，我将有三个主要研究目标：
