Are you planning to implement lianas in vegetation models? Find inspiration in the recently published review where my colleagues and I highlight insights obtained during the ERC project 'TREECLIMBERS'.
Research interests
To understand how vegetative ecosystems will shift in response to climate change and human encroachment, it is imperative to reconcile the individual measurable physiological performances of plants with demographic responses. I am passionate about how diverse plant physiological and demographic strategies steer the competitive behavior and invasiveness of distinct plant species and growth forms, leading to species exclusion and/or coexistence in a changing environment.
In the spotlight
Are you curious about how climate change can lead to liana proliferation, how a shift in lianas impacts forest structure, and whether we expect the observed trend of the global increase in liana abundance to be of a transient nature? Read all about it in my latest paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).
Together with my collaborators, I was interviewed about my latest research by Radio Canadas' reporter Gino Harel. Our interview aired on the scientific radio program 'Les années lumière' (in French).
