I'm a post-doc trying to understand the vegetated land surface through space and time.
My research touches areas of ecology, biogeography, functional traits & diversity, ecosystem fun., and veg. modelling.
I aim to disentangle interactions between functional diversity and ecosystem function using #ecoevo vegetation models (aDGVM2, LPJ-GUESS-NTD).
