Research Interests
What have been the ecological drivers that modulate regeneration dynamics, species coexistence and tree-mortality in temperate forests? I use a multi-scalar approach (primarily dendrochronology and landscape ecology) to study spatiotemporal patterns of disturbances to learn from ecological processes that are of societal relevance.
