I'm an ecologist at The University of Manchester and subject editor at Ecological Monographs and Nordic Journal of Botany. I mostly study plants, how they're distributed, what determines their traits, and how they interact with other organisms.
I've been this my whole career...

We propose additional lines of evidence that would support and distinguish the two mechanisms of ND. Echoing Kaspari and Welti, we need to fire up the C:N analysers and ICP-OES's to get to the bottom of how global change is altering the nutritional landscape.

The paper lays out how continuing ND may be driving herbivore declines. This inspired Chris Taylor, Bred Beckett, and myself to propose a complementary mechanism of biochemical ND called community ND, where global changes additionally alter plant communities to favour less nutritious species.

Seeking a leader to support Nature-Based Solutions. Key research areas: ecological and evolutionary responses to climate change (past/present), sustainable land use, biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation; ecosystem resilience; and the role of biotic interactions in biogeochemical cycles.
