I am a plant ecologist which uses different approaches to disentangle how biotic and abiotic factors influence spatio-temporal plant species patterns. My research topic focuses on plant species response to environmental and climate factors at the individual, population and community level. Currently, I am postdoctoral researcher (MINECO - postdoctoral junior grant) at the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology (IPE-CSIC).

 

I am involved in the following research fields:


≈ Plant community patterns and their determinants across spatial scales
≈ Abiotic and biotic determinants of plant species distribution
≈ Heterogeneity diversity relationship at multiple scales (HDR)
≈ Species coexistence and community assembly in plant communities
≈ Woody plant species response to climate drivers
≈ Functional diversity and its relationship to the response of plant species to climate
