About me
My research interests are based in ecosystem ecology and community ecology and focus on the following areas:
-
Animal-plant-microbe interactions and effects on ecosystem function
-
Urban ecology (insular biogeography, green infrastructure, heavy metal cycling)
-
Global Change and elemental cycling in aquatic ecosystems (greenhouse gas flux, carbon and nutrient cycling)
-
Invertebrate ecology (Aquatic and terrestrial)
