I am ecologist, mainly working on (1) biodiversity and climate change, (2) plant functional traits (hydraulic) and tree mortality and (3) biological invasion and land use change using field experiments, data compilation and models. Currently, the main research focuses on the interacting effects of land use and biological invasions on local biodiversity across taxonomic groups
