ON THE FRINGES OF SOCIETY
Research on the ecology of tropical forests, their wealth of plant diversity & their functioning in the 21st century
STUDY:
I focus at the intersection of 3 areas of ecology applied to tropical forests:
forest dynamics, global change and plant functional traits
forest dynamics, global change and plant functional traits
