Mark Johnson works to understand how land use practices influence the interactions between hydrological and ecological processes, and how these ecohydrological processes further affect ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration. Unraveling the interactions between the water cycle and carbon cycle is essential for improving sustainability in land and water management, especially under changing climatic conditions. Johnson’s research in ecohydrology demonstrates that soil carbon processes are integrally important for the health of freshwater ecosystems and drinking water supplies. His team is testing carbon-water cycle interactions to address key questions about how carbon and water are transported through land and freshwater systems. Johnson's research addresses applied questions related to soil fertility and the amount of water required for food production in urban environments. To tackle related challenges, he is developing innovative approaches to ecohydrological research in partnership with communities and natural resource management agencies, organizations, and industry.
