Research Interest
Effect of Forest Management and Climate on the C-balance of sub-Boreal forests. I have many on-going projects exploring the ways in which past, current and future forest management as well as climate and environment can influence carbon storage in sub-boreal and boreal landscapes. My lab utilizes soil, leaf, ecosystem (chamber, Bowen-ratio, Eddy flux) level gas-exchange to determine fluxes of CO2, dendrochemistry (e.g. stable isotopes) and dendrochronology, as well as standardized protocols and methods for assessment and modeling of carbon stocks. Recently, I've been exploring the way in which forest-products and end-uses (e.g. bioenergy) can affect net C storage.
