I study the interaction between plants and soil microbes, and how these interactions facilitate ecosystem services, such as carbon storage, erosion control, and nutrient leaching. More specifically, I am interested in how the phylogenetic structure of plant communities influences microbial assemblages, and the degree to which these dynamics influence soil ecosystem services.
