Research Interests

My research aims to elucidate the drivers of biodiversity in space and time from local to biogeographical scales, with particular emphasis on the functional assembly of plant communities along natural environmental gradients and in response to human-imposed disturbances. My goal is to capture the major forces acting in the context of human-modified landscapes, which should define thresholds for biodiversity persistence and ecosystem services provisioning.
I am currently working on the synthesis group of the Biodiversity Exploratories project.

Number of items: 16.
