Research description: The effects of disturbances such as wildfire on soil microbial communities and the ways in which this impacts their biogeochemical cycling, particularly nitrogen cycling. I use a variety of assays and molecular tools to investigate these questions and elucidate how these microbes influence large-scale ecosystem processes.
