Profile
Adam’s research investigates the role of plants as they regulate water, carbon, and nutrient cycles between the soil and the atmosphere in different ecosystems, with the goal of sustainable management of Earth’s natural resources by improved understanding of state and process. A central theme is the translation of processes between scales, from species to biome, from leaf to crown, from stand to continent. Along the way, many different tools can be brought to bear, including remote sensing, embedded sensors, flux measurements, phylogeography and ecoinformatics, data assimilation, numerical and theoretical modeling, and novel statistics
