Pamela Templer, PhD

Pamela Templer is Distinguished Professor and Chair of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Boston University. She is broadly interested in ecosystem ecology and the influence that plant-microbial interactions have on nutrient cycling and carbon exchange. Dr. Templer is particularly interested in the effects that human activities such as climate change, urbanization, and air pollution have on forest ecosystems.

The Templer Lab focuses on the effects of environmental change, including climate change, atmospheric deposition, and urbanization on biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen in natural and managed ecosystems. We explore how plant-microbial interactions influence carbon exchange, nitrogen retention, forest productivity, and water and air quality. We also pursue projects that integrate across environmental science and policy through a collaborative approach with governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector.
