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
forest dynamics, global change and plant functional/physiological ecology
Forest

Forests & Global Change |
Plant Functional & Physiological Ecology |
