My interests include vegetation, regeneration and seed germination ecology, trophic interactions, and systematic decision-making applied to the most pressing questions surrounding ecological restoration, conservation biology and ecosystem function. In the Biodiversity Synthesis and Physiological Diversity Labs, we explicitly investigate the entire set of community assembly processes that might affect the functioning of ecosystems (CAFE approach). We build on recent analytical advances and tools, including the Price equation, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and prioritization, to investigate how changes in species richness and composition driven by environmental change affect ecosystem function, to help develop the next generation of ecosystem-biodiversity interaction studies.
