Dr Crowther works across a full range of spatial scales to estimate how climate change will influence this balance at a global scale. The goa l of this research is to identify the key ecological processes that govern this balance\, in order to constrain the global biogeochemical models tha t project carbon cycling under current and future climate scenarios. Speci fically\, he focuses on generating a mechanistic understanding of the func tional biogeography of soil fungi (which influence the release of carbon f rom the soil) and forest trees (which influence carbon uptake from the atm osphere) in order to improve our understanding of how terrestrial ecosyste ms will respond - and feed back - to global change. \n DTSTART:20170424T143000Z DTEND:20170424T143000Z LOCATION:R3-048\, Raymond Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue\, H9X 3V 9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:Exploring the ecological drivers of terrestrial carbon cycling URL:/macdonald/channels/event/exploring-ecological-dri vers-terrestrial-carbon-cycling-267713 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
