Professor Elise Pendall is a Chief Investigator with expertise in soil and ecosystem ecology. Her research focuses on biogeochemical cycling, particularly how climate change and ecological disturbances affect carbon, water, and nutrient cycles in Eucalyptus woodlands. She uses advanced techniques like stable isotopes and eddy covariance to study the interactions between aboveground and belowground ecosystems, contributing critical insights into climate change feedbacks and ecosystem resilience.
