PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Carbon and water cycling in tropical rainforest

Tropical rainforests are more metabolically than any other major forested biome, and variation in how they function from year to year influences the carbon cycle more than any other terrestrial ecosystem.

This project is open to Honours, Masters and PhD students
