Outstanding NREM Students ~inFocus~
 Focus Area: Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences As a full-time fish culturist with New Mexico Game and Fish I am raising rainbow trout, but soon I will be working with Gila trout which were recently placed on the endangered species list. I am also working on a research project to find the cause of high mortality rates in recently hatched trout at other hatcheries. I love it here because it is in the Gila Wilderness area and it is very remote. |
Our People Make a Difference
Dr. Russell is a terrestrial ecosystems ecologist, with special expertise in the biogeochemistry of tropical and managed ecosystems. Her research addresses links between plant-species traits and ecosystems processes, focusing on species and management effects on belowground processes, and subsequent implications for human impacts on soil fertility and carbon sequestration. The significant contribution of her research is that it sheds light on basic theory regarding effects of plant diversity and species composition on the landscape, and the mechanisms by which species influence the structure and functioning of ecosystems.
