Adam Martin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Toronto Scarborough. His long-term research aims to understand the variation in plant functional traits and how these traits mechanistically govern biogeochemical cycles and key ecosystem functions in both managed and natural ecosystems. He evaluates the extent of drivers of variability in leaf, stem, whole-plant, and root traits across tree species globally and the world's common crops. Based on this understanding of trait variability, his work seeks to explain and predict rates of key ecosystem processes at both individual plant and global scales. This research includes the effects of environmental change drivers on above- and below-ground carbon stocks and fluxes, soil organic matter composition and cycling, as well as plant-ecosystem responses. His research interests encompass Environment and Climate, Agroecology, carbon cycling, crop diversity, ecophysiology, environmental change, forest ecology, functional ecology, functional traits, and wood traits.
