Research Interests
I am a plant ecophysiologist investigating forest responses to global change related stressors. My research identifies the physiological thresholds and tipping points that govern plant health and productivity and uses a mechanistic understanding of plant responses to drought, increasing temperature and other environmental stressors to refine predictions of future forest health or mortality at a landscape or global scale
