  Research focus:

  • Studying the effect of vegetation on decomposition of organic matter and greenhouse gas production and oxidation.
  • Aquatic food webs to study the trophic interactions between microbial functional groups in Florida Everglades.
  • Characterization of microbial communities associated with the early development of soils in a calcareous wetland soil using phospholipids fatty acid analysis.
  • Biogeochemical succession in early development of soils using nutrient and soil enzyme analysis.
  • Investigation of biogeochemical, physical and biological mechanisms that influence the phosphatase production in the periphyton mats.
  • Linking structure and functions in periphyton mats by using enzyme labeled fluorescent (ELF) substrate and fluorescence microscopy.
