My primary research focuses on three main questions spanning microbial to community to ecosystem ecology: 1) How do microbes influence plants? 2) How do plants influence microbes? And 3) what are the implications of climate and environmental change on these relationships? I use bioinformatics, citizen science, long term monitoring, and field/lab experiments to evaluate controls on species' functioning along environmental gradients in natural, managed, and anthropogenically disturbed ecosystems
