Ashley K. Lang studies how trees and forests interact with soil, with a focus on how different types of trees and their root-associated fungi (mycorrhizae) shape soil carbon storage, nutrient cycling, and greenhouse gas exchange. The work combines field observations, experiments, and large-scale forest inventory data, mostly in temperate forests of the United States. Topics include how leaf litter decomposes, how carbon and nitrogen move through soil, and how tree seedlings survive under competition.
Publication activity has been variable but generally sustained over the past decade, averaging about 3.8 papers per year over the last five years with recent peaks in 2023 and 2025.
