Title: Altitudinal patterns of nutrient fluxes and pools at the Sierra Nevada


Abstract: The earth’s critical zone sustains nearly all terrestrial life because it is a near surface environment where rock, soil, water, air, and plants interact. We synthesized our existing measurements at the Southern Sierra Critical Zone Observatory and Kings River Experimental Watershed, the two co-located complementary long-term research stations in California, to answer both basic and applied biogeochemical questions including: 1. How elevational gradient influences nutrient fluxes and storages in biosphere (i.e. plants), lithosphere (i.e., soil and rock) and hydrosphere (i.e. water)? 2. How biosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere influence each other spatially and temporally in terms of nutrient dynamics. 3. How disturbance (i.e. thinning) impacts nutrient fluxes and thus storages in the critical zone.

Bio: He is a postdoc working at the Southern Nevada Research Institute at UC Merced. He is  interested in biogeochemical cycle (e.g. carbon, nitrogen, mercury) in forested watersheds. He earned a M.S. in forest ecology and management in 2015 and a PhD in Environmental Science in 2018, both at State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF).
