Research Interest<\/h2>\n

My research focuses on soil biogeochemical processes that regulate the mobility of nutrients and contaminants, and shape their availability to soil microorganisms and plants. My current work explores how seasonal pulses of pollen deposition affect nutrient cycling in soils and their potential consequences for soil biota.<\/p>\n
