Title: 
Associate Professor
Area of Expertise: 
David Moore is a plant ecologist and ecosystem scientist. His research uses a range of observation types from ground measurements to satellite remote sensing and focuses on ecosystem processes and transitions between ecosystem states both seasonally and interannually.
Associate Professor

Plants mediate the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere, taking up approximately 120 giga-tons of carbon through photosynthesis from the atmosphere annually and returning about half that amount through respiration. Information about the controls of these processes is abundant at the leaf level but sparse at scales relevant to regional and global carbon balance. Although we can now collect, log and store more data and ecological observations than ever before, we are challenged to interpret and analyze these data effectively.

Adjunct Professor

I am an Assistant Research Professor with an appointment at Biosphere 2, and an adjunct appointment with the School of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Arizona. I advise students in SNRE and teach courses on urban ecosystem ecology, soil-plant interactions, and science communication. My research focuses on the links between the structure and function of ecosystems, and how they respond to humans as drivers of change and as components of ecosystems.
