This is the home page for Dr. Ted Schuur's laboratory. We are part of the Department of Biology at the University of Florida.

The research in our lab focuses on:

  • the interactions between terrestrial ecosystems and global change
  • the exchange of carbon between plants, soils, and the atmosphere
  • understanding the response of terrestrial ecosystems to changes in climate and disturbance regimes
  • sponses of arctic ecosystems to climate change
    •
