Researcher at the University of Bristol. I study microbial processes and carbon cycling in past and present wetlands.
I listen to the whispers of wetlands - tracing carbon’s slow dance in peat and the hidden rhythms of microbial breath.

Earth system feedbacks are very complex - there are positive but also negative feedbacks; tipping points that are subject not just to thresholds but the rate of change. Our new paper reveals some of that complexity with respect to the composition of peat vegetation:

Microbial responses to changing plant community protect peatland carbon stores during Holocene drying - Nature Communications
This study reveals that Holocene drying-induced woody plant expansion in peatlands suppresses microbial heterotrophic activity and enhances organic matter stability, creating a natural buffer for carb...
