Research interests
Ecology, conservation and management; plants and vegetation
I have two streams of research: use of plant functional traits to organise, analyse and model plant species response to environment and disturbance; and applied plant and vegetation ecology for conservation and managment. Throughout I use statistical and process models to guide thinking and decisons.
