Richard Norby is a physiological ecologist with interests in tree growth, forest ecology, carbon and nitrogen cycling, and ecosystem responses to atmospheric and climatic change. He has been conducting experiments on the responses of trees and forests to elevated atmospheric CO2 since 1982, with an emphasis on belowground responses, and was the principal investigator of the Oak Ridge Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) Experiment.

Research interests:
• Effects of CO2 enrichment on tree growth and forest metabolism
• Ecosystem responses to atmospheric and climatic change
• Carbon and nitrogen cycling in diverse ecosystems
• Forest tree physiology and plant physiological ecology
• Synthesis of experimental results to inform models
