Research
Research in the Barrett Lab addresses the influences of soils, climate variability, hydrology, and biodiversity on biogeochemical cycling from the scale of microorganisms to regional landscapes. Topics that I am interested in are:
1. Biogeochemical cycling
- Processes that regulate the transformation and transport of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
- Response of carbon and nitrogen cycling to environmental change
2. Soil ecology
- Environmental controls over spatial distribution of soil biota
- Response of soil biota to climate variability
- Soil community composition and ecosystem functioning
