Nick Balster - Associate Professor

I am interested in the remarkable "communication" between plants and soil that control the cycling of energy and materials. I study these interactions within a variety of settings including forests, prairies, nurseries, and urban ecosystems, using a variety of approaches from traditional mass balance to stable isotopes. I also study the scholarship of teaching and learning (K-16) related to environmental education also within a variety of settings from the classroom to the very structure of educational systems.
