Carl Bernacchi is a Professor in the School of Integrative Biology at the University of Illinois. His research focuses on the impacts of climate change on crop physiology and energy fluxes within plant canopies, as well as carbon sequestration and crop canopy responses to various stresses. Bernacchi's work includes analyzing global change scenarios and natural variations in growth conditions over a wide range of temporal scales. Specific areas of study involve understanding how vegetation responds to atmospheric change, with a particular emphasis on measuring net ecosystem carbon exchange using eddy covariance techniques to estimate carbon sequestration potential in Midwest agriculture. He also investigates physiological responses in soybean crops to elevated CO2 and ozone levels. Bernacchi is involved in multiple projects utilizing the SoyFACE and Ameriflux networks, and participates in running eddy covariance flux towers in Bondville, IL.
