I seek to develop knowledge that allows us to estimate how environmental change and management will affect the rates of carbon stabilization and decomposition processes, and hence how the size of soil organic carbon stores change in space and time. Such quantitative knowledge is necessary to connect impacts on soils to consequences for society and the environment, and to inform efforts that seek to better manage soils to restore the benefits they provide. The overall goal of my research is to provide the understanding and data necessary for reliable estimation of global change and management impacts on ecosystems, their feedbacks to the carbon cycle-climate system, and to inform the sustainable management of forests and a productive agriculture.</p> </div> <article class="wysiwyg-alert global-spacing--default"> <p><strong>This professor is accepting doctoral students</strong></p> </article> <div class="profile__info global-spacing--default"> <div class="eyebrow">Research Topics</div> <div class="wysiwyg"> <ul> <li ><p>Applied Ecology in Managed Forests</p> </li> <li ><p>Carbon Cycle-Climate Feedbacks</p> </li> <li ><p>Soil Carbon in Agricultural Systems</p> </li> <li ><p>Soil Carbon, Litter Decomposition and Scaling Theory</p> <p> </p> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="profile__info global-spacing--default"> <div id="research-statement" class="accordion accordion--mobile" data-accordion-open-text="Click to Open" data-accordion-close-text="Click to Close" data-accordion-breakpoint="2460" > <button class="accordion__button btn"> <span class="show-for-sr"></span> <span class="accordion__button-text">Research Statement</span> <svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="m15.67 7h-6.67v-6.67a.33.33 0 0 0 -.33-.33h-1.34a.33.33 0 0 0 -.33.33v6.67h-6.67a.33.33 0 0 0 -.33.33v1.34a.33.33 0 0 0 .33.33h6.67v6.67a.33.33 0 0 0 .33.33h1.34a.33.33 0 0 0 .33-.33v-6.67h6.67a.33.33 0 0 0 .33-.33v-1.34a.33.33 0 0 0 -.33-.33z" fill="#286dc0" fill-rule="evenodd"/></svg> </button> <div class="accordion__content"> <p></p> <p>Please see our <a href="https://bradfordlab.yale.edu">lab webpage</a> for a full description of current projects and what topics the various group members focus on.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="profile__info global-spacing--default"> <div id="teaching-statement" class="accordion accordion--mobile" data-accordion-open-text="Click to Open" data-accordion-close-text="Click to Close" data-accordion-breakpoint="2460" > <button class="accordion__button btn"> <span class="show-for-sr"></span> <span class="accordion__button-text">Teaching Statement</span> <svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="m15.67 7h-6.67v-6.67a.33.33 0 0 0 -.33-.33h-1.34a.33.33 0 0 0 -.33.33v6.67h-6.67a.33.33 0 0 0 -.33.33v1.34a.33.33 0 0 0 .33.33h6.67v6.67a.33.33 0 0 0 .33.33h1.34a.33.33 0 0 0 .33-.33v-6.67h6.67a.33.33 0 0 0 .33-.33v-1.34a.33.33 0 0 0 -.33-.33z" fill="#286dc0" fill-rule="evenodd"/></svg> </button> <div class="accordion__content"> <p></p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">As a teacher, my primary goal is to develop knowledge, questioning and application of biological and ecological understanding.
