Research Interest

Stable isotopes provide non-invasive biological and ecological markers of metabolic and atmospheric transformations of water and carbon dioxide, coupling plant carbon uptake and sequestration into biomass as a function of water availability and use (Griffiths & Jarvis 2005; Griffiths et al 2000; Tcherkez et al. 2007). We are evaluating plant growth under marginal habitats for the selection of drought tolerant cultivars and perennial biomass crops, such as Miscanthus, and their impact on canopy water use.
