About
My work focuses on the intersection of plant community ecology and ecosystem ecology. To connect across ecological scales, I study how species interactions shift in response to global change and how these effects scale up to affect ecosystem-scale processes in grassland systems.
I love to talk about all things plants, ecology, and soil related! Please feel free to reach out to chat more about science. My email: sarah.ortiz@colostate.edu
