Portrait of Haydee Hampton
Global change, Microbial ecology Haydee.Hampton@nau.edu

    Hampton’s research focuses on the ecology and management of global change, and microbial ecology from humans to the globe. Her research occurs in woodlands and forests in the temperate zone.

    Through applied research, Hampton hopes to contribute to improvements in ecosystem health and efforts to mitigate global climate change.

    Current Projects
    • Climate forcing implications of southwestern ponderosa pine management
    • Mapping ponderosa pine aboveground biomass using lidar

    A trio of illustrated panels depicts the soil microbial communities in three treatments of a long-term warming experiment north of Flagstaff, Arizona. The panels are labeled in gray text, left to right: control, short-term warming, long-term warming. The control treatment, far left, depicts bacteria, protists, and other microorganisms identified by sequencing the soil’s metagenome in yellow, orange, green, and blue, along with chains of available nutrients. Soil depicted in the center panel, which has undergone short-term warming, shows an increased abundance and diversity of microbes, some of which are growing, incorporating nutrients, and respiring carbon dioxide. The soil that has undergone long-term warming, imagined in the panel on the right, shows fewer microbial species and competitive relationships that are developing for control of the scarcer nutrients.
