Paul Sinsabaugh (ecologist)

Paul Sinsabaugh is an ecologist known for his research on how ecosystems function, particularly focusing on nutrient cycling and microbial activity. He studies how microorganisms decompose organic matter and influence the flow of nutrients like nitrogen and carbon in various environments, including forests and wetlands. His work helps us understand the natural processes that sustain ecosystems and their responses to environmental changes, such as pollution or climate shifts. By examining microbial roles in these processes, Sinsabaugh contributes valuable insights into ecosystem health, resilience, and management.
