Terrestrial Biogeochemistry Group
at UML
The Terrestrial Biogeochemistry Group investigates how plants and soils regulate the movement of carbon, nutrients, and water in terrestrial ecosystems under a variety of human perturbations. The group is located at University of Massachusetts Lowell in the Department of Environmental, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences and is lead by Dr. Joy Winbourne.
