Graduate Students
Elif Kardas
University of Puerto Rico - Río Piedras
Using a combination of field and lab experiments (metagenomics and GC-MS), Elif is studying the effects of warming on nectar microbiota and biochemistry, as well as the subsequent changes in plant-pollinator mutualism
Rob’s research is focused on studying understory plant foliar and root physiological acclimation responses to disturbance under experimentally warmed conditions.
Stephanie’s research investigates climate responses in tropical forests and soil processes, and their aggregate effect on the Earth’s carbon cycle.
