个人简介

Jim Fourqurean is a marine and estuarine ecologist with a special interest in benthic plant communities, food webs, and nutrient biogeochemistry. He developed a love of seagrass ecosystems while doing his dissertation research in Florida Bay. He has specialized in the application of elemental and stable isotopic composition of organisms as indicators of ecosystem processes. He is an expert in carbon storage and fluxes in coastal ecosystems, and the importance of these ecosystems to climate regulation and mitigation. He has current research interests the Florida Keys, the Gulf of Mexico, in Mexico, Panama and Bermuda, the western Mediterranean and Australia.

研究领域

Biogeochemistry of the coastal ocean Nutrient cycling in the marine environment Seagrass physiological ecology Marine food webs Ecosystem modeling

My research focuses on biogeochemistry of the coastal ocean, nutrient cycling in the marine environment, primary productivity of aquatic systems, seagrass physiological ecology, and ecosystem modeling.
