STEVEN HAMBURG

My lab group focuses on the effects of disturbance on forest structure and function with particular emphasis on: effects of typhoons on sub tropical forests; effects of forest cutting on Ca biogeochemistry; effects of land-use history on carbon storage; and climate change impacts on temperate forests. I am also involved in supporting the development of long-term ecological research internationally, as well as development of climate change mitigation policies in both the public and private sector.
