Mark Bradford: Building Confidence in Projections of Global Carbon Cycle-Climate Feedbacks

In this talk, Mark Bradford (Yale University) presents evidence from his group's field research to show that considering local interactions in the context of regional climate gradients suggests the need to update dominant conceptualizations about controls on broad scale carbon cycling.

Mark A. Bradford is Professor of Soils and Ecosystem Ecology at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. His group's research reveals how soil microbial processes govern carbon cycle responses to global change and environmental management. Their current work spans questions that address uncertainties in Earth system feedbacks to quantifying soil health outcomes and forest processes.
