Paul Roman

Paul’s research involves understanding how carbon pools move throughout different plant communities. Specifically looking at how processes such as soil respiration link surface and subsurface ecosystems through the exchange of carbon. The goal of this research is to learn more about how these carbon exchanges vary across the landscape so Read more…
