• Biodiversity
• Climate warming
• Community Ecology
• Ecological niche
• Ecosystem functioning
• Forest plant species
• Macroecology

My research can be framed within the broad disciplines of macroecology and community ecology. I am generally interested in understanding the effect of contemporary  climate change on plant communities in temperate forests and modelling species distributions and patterns of biodiversity including species richness but also functional and phylogenetic diversity.
