Meghan Taylor

Meghan Taylor is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, University of Vermont (UVM), collaborating with Professors Carol Adair and Andrew Schroth. Her work focuses on biogeochemical responses to climate change, particularly nutrient dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions in terrestrial ecosystems.

Education:

• Ph.D., Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Michigan (2015)
• M.S., Botany, University of Wyoming (2008)
• B.S., Natural Resources Management, University of Michigan (2002)

Meghan's research investigates how warming impacts biogeochemical cycles in northern ecosystems. In interior Alaska, she studied carbon release from thawing permafrost, methane versus carbon dioxide emissions, and landscape-scale carbon budgets using eddy covariance and chamber-based measurements. Currently, her work at UVM examines winter warming effects on nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon transport from soils to Lake Champlain watershed streams, alongside trace gas production in terrestrial soils.
