Dr. Noormets is a Forest Ecologist with background in plan ecophysiology (carbon and nutrient use), ecosystem biochemistry (ecosystem- and landscape level exchange of carbon, water and energy), and global change ecology (plant responses to increasing atmospheric CO₂ and ozone. His current work focuses on soil carbon balance and plant carbon allocation in different ecosystems, and in response to various management and land us changes. Understanding the interactive effects between environmental conditions like water and nutrient availability, atmospheric CO₂ and other pollutants on ecosystem function will help develop management strategies that maximize ecosystem resilience, and ensure continued provisioning of ecosystem services that we depend on.
