Ann Russell is an ecosystems ecologist, with special expertise in the biogeochemistry of tropical ecosystems. She is an Associate Adjunct Professor in the Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Iowa State University. She earned her B.S. from Cornell University, her M.S. from University of Florida and her Ph.D. from Iowa State University. Her research addresses the effects of plant traits on ecosystem processes, through the integration of plant biology, soil science, and ecosystem ecology. She has worked in tropical ecosystems in Hawaii, Costa Rica, India, and Mexico, and also has projects in Iowa. She uses simulation modeling to explore complex interactions and to address ‘what-if’ questions regarding the effects of management and climate change on ecosystem processes in forests and agricultural systems. She has been honored by a Lindbergh Certificate of Merit and a Fulbright fellowship. Most of her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation.
