About

Forest Isbell is an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota, USA. His research primarily focuses on the impacts of nutrient enrichment and elevated CO2 on biodiversity and ecosystem stability, with recent publications exploring species richness in grassland experiments and the effects of biodiversity on urban ecosystem functioning. His work emphasizes the necessity for urgent climate action to maintain biodiversity benefits in protected areas.
