Biosphere

Our research focuses on understanding recent and future ecosystem changes in the living portion of planet Earth, including processes above and below ground.

We explore these changes from a range of different perspectives, which include:  

  • Monitoring biogeochemical cycling 
  • Quantifying changes in tree species composition, growth and reproduction  
  • Modelling the response of soils 

We undertake research across biomes and ecosystems including tropical and temperate forests, agricultural environments, wetlands and freshwaters.  

We use a range of approaches, leveraging more traditional field-based measurements, including long-term ecological monitoring, alongside process-based modelling, remote sensing, and data driven approaches (e.g. deep learning).
