Root, a Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Professor, by courtesy, of Biological Sciences, primarily works on large-scale ecological questions with a focus on impacts of global warming.

She is the author of numerous scientific articles for such journals Science, Climatic Change, Biodiversity and Conservation, and Nature. She has written numerous chapters in books, as well as being the author of Atlas of Wintering North American Birds: An Analysis of Christmas Bird Count Data and co-author of Wildlife Responses to Climate Change: North American Case Studies.
