Graduate Student

Nikhil is a Ph.D. student interested in carbon and nutrient cycling governing terrestrial ecosystems. His foci include soil carbon sequestration, mineral-organic interactions, and redox-driven biogeochemistry.

My research focuses on how mycorrhizal association type and global change shape both local plant-fungal interactions and broader biogeochemical processes.

I am currently engaged in several projects studying how different global change drivers (nutrient pollution, disturbance, and rising CO2) alter belowground symbioses and plant resource-acquisition strategies. Moving forward, I want to explore questions...

I am an ecosystem ecologist interested in the biotic and abiotic controls on nutrient cycling in terrestrial environments. My research interests are focused on the linkage of the N and C cycle in high latitude ecosystems. Specifically how the N fixing...
