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.<span></span></span></font></p>

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).
