ON THE FRINGES OF SOCIETY

Understanding the ecology of tropical forests, their wealth of plant diversity & their functioning in the 21st century

RESEARCH:

I focus at the intersection of 3 areas of ecology applied to tropical forests:
forest dynamics, global change and plant functional/physiological ecology
