Functional Landscape Ecology
Our
research focuses on the coupling between biodiversity, energy
fluxes, and biogeochemical cycling embedded within ecological
landscapes. We
conduct research across
wildland,
agricultural, and
urban land uses. Linking processes across scales is central to
our work
-- landscape dynamics occur at scales of microbes, to
hundreds of kilometers, to the entire world. Everyone in the lab
endeavors to both generate new understanding of how the world works
and
forecast the effects global change drivers on
sustainability trade-offs. Current activities are answering
questions such as: What regulates biodiversity and ecosystem
functioning within cities? What limits rates of nitrogen cycling
and nitrogen trace gas emissions in high temperature regions? What are
landscape feedbacks
to coupled carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles following grass invasions
in arid ecosystems?The lab is part of the Center for Conservation Biology and the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at the University of California Riverside. Contact Email: darrel.jenerette@ucr.edu
