Soo-Hyung Kim

My research focuses on how plants interact with the environment at the scales from leaf to whole-plant through ecosystem and landscape.

Plant physiological responses to abiotic and biotic stresses
Process-based modeling to evaluate plant-environment interactions
Evaluation of ecological functions of urban forests
Comparative ecophysiology of native and invasive plants
Impacts of climate change on plants in urban, agricultural, and natural environments
Effects of urbanization on plants
Optimization of resource management (e.g., water and nitrogen) and mitigation of environmental perturbations in managed ecosystems
