Professor Emma Sayer
Professor in Ecosystem EcologyResearch Overview
My research investigates how ecosystems respond to change. I’m happiest when working in forests but I also make the occasional foray into grasslands. My main research focus lies in determining how interactions between above- and belowground processes affect ecosystem function. I currently work in the UK, Panama and Germany using a wide range of tools borrowed from biogeochemistry, plant-, soil, and microbial ecology. I'm also Senior Editor for and I'm passionate about science communication and public engagement with science.
