Research Interests

I am an ecologist focused on the interactions between plants and soil organisms, particularly how they are influenced by global change drivers such as climate change and land-use intensification. My research aims to understand how these factors impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning over time. I aim to examine the composition and diversity of plants, Collembola, and fungi, and investigate how these organisms interact with each other. Additionally, I will explore how land-use changes alter these interactions over time. Currently, I am working with the synthesis group of the Biodiversity Exploratories project to address these questions;
