Theoretical ecology · Plant interactions · Vegetation structure · Ecosystem resilience · Rewilding

I am a plant ecologist interested in how plant interactions shape vegetation structure, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. My research combines ecological theory, mathematical modeling, greenhouse and field experiments, and natural history to understand plant communities across scales — from belowground competition among neighboring plants to ecosystem-level processes such as herbivory, disturbance, and landscape structure.

Root competition and plant strategies

Belowground interactions, game theory, root foraging strategies, and resource acquisition.

Plant coexistence and vegetation structure

Mechanisms maintaining biodiversity and spatial organization in plant communities.

Ecosystem dynamics and rewilding

Mediterranean open-oak landscapes, herbivory, fire, and conservation implications.
