Biology
What are the consequences of global change on fungi – individuals, species, communities – and how can large scale datasets complemented by real-world and laboratory experiments be utilized to provide scientific answers to timely research questions and forecasts to advance general ecological knowledge and guide decision making for the management of forests and protected areas and species conservation.
Interests:
- Climate and global change
- Experimental Ecology
- Phenology
- Functional Ecology
- Fungal coloration
- Macroecology
