About the research

How does urbanization alter city-scale carbon exchanges between the atmosphere and vegetation over seasonal to decadal timescales?

Read the full research overview

The Hutyra Research Lab integrates atmospheric, biometric, and climatological observations to quantify drivers of atmosphere–biosphere carbon fluxes in urban and forested systems. Researchers measure and compare carbon and nitrogen cycling across land-use gradients to determine how land use change affects ecosystem productivity and carbon storage. The group applies ecosystem-scale flux measurements and remote/biometric datasets to identify climatic controls on ecosystem carbon exchange. Ongoing projects examine urban heat island effects and their influence on carbon dynamics across heterogeneous urban landscapes.
