I am an ecosystem ecologist that explores the vulnerability and resilience of ecosystems to global change. I am interested on how changes in the abiotic conditions – and particularly extreme drought events and modified fire regimes – affect plant form and function, and how this aggregates to diversity and ecosystem functioning. The great bulk of my professional activity in conducted in the South - in tropical environments, and I a have a strong interest in linking science with policy-making, and I currently collaborate with several local institutions, NGOs and stake-holders from Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Europe.
