Research Interests

Tim wants to improve our understanding of terrestrial ecosystems by studying how individual plants and plant communities function. He uses observations, experiments, simulations and theory to achieve this goal. Currently, he focuses on how and why trees grow wood, due to the huge importance of wood for many services provided by forest ecosystems, such as carbon sequestration and timber production. Beyond his current work Tim is also passionately interested in agricultural crops and landscapes.

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.
