Sharon Billings

Dr. Billings is an ecosystem ecologist with interests that include biogeochemistry, soil organic matter dynamics, stable isotope ecology, and climate change.  She works at the interface of the biotic and abiotic worlds, trying to understand how vegetation and microbes both respond to and shape the chemical and physical environment across space and time. Dr. Sharon Billings' research characterizes the features governing nitrogen, carbon and water fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems, and how these dynamics are influenced by environmental change. Her research invokes tools from a wide range of disciplines, including ecosystem ecology, ecophysiology, microbial ecology and soil science.
