Research Interests

Coastal ecosytems functional ecology and adaptation to environmental change with a particular focus on mangroves and salt marshes, with a focus on:

1) tolerance thersholds to environmental stress,

2) understanding how morphological plasticity modulates modulates plant interactions and ecosystem function and,

3) Deloping knowledge-based approches to support ecological restoration and nature-based solutions
