Ecological and Biogeochemical Function

How do ecosystems process energy, matter, and information—and how are these internal processes organized and sustained? Research in this area examines the mechanisms of nutrient cycling, energy flow, and ecological interactions. It emphasizes empirical measurements, experimental manipulations, and quantitative synthesis.
