Biography
Hi! My name is Molly Cavaleri and I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science at Michigan Technological University. Some of my areas of expertise include: forest canopy structure, forest response to global change, carbon and water cycling through forests, tree ecophysiology, stable isotope ecology and invasive tree species.
Molly's research projects
Tropical forests contain ~25% of Earth’s terrestrial biomass and exchange more carbon (C) and energy with the atmosphere than any other biome. As such, our poor understanding of how tropical forests will respond to projected increased temperatures severely constrains global predictions.
