Research

Knowledge of the biological consequences of environmental variability has been limited because its effects play out over longer time periods than most scientific studies, making long-term support critical to advancing this scientific frontier.

1. How do climate variance and long-run mean drive biome transitions?

2. Why are some biomes and ecotones more sensitive to climate mean and variance than others?

3. How will changes in climate variance and mean affect biome-specific biogeochemical processes and alter biophysical feedbacks?

4. How do climate-driven changes in resource landscapes affect consumer dynamics?

5. How do disturbances alter climate sensitivity or antecedent effects?
