Bio/Research
Yavitt's research seeks to describe and explain relationships and feedbacks between biodiversity and biogeochemical processes in forest and wetland ecosystems. It is a compelling question: how do plant species and the uncounted diversity of smaller organisms in soil influence biogeochemical phenomena, such as nutrient cycling, litter decomposition, and the production and consumption of atmospheric greenhouse gases? Knowing the role of species has tremendous potential to predict rates of biogeochemical processes, both in the past and in the future, as plant communities change. Research sites range from boreal wetlands to tropical forests.
