Ecosystems sustain plant biodiversity and human well-being by supporting critical ecosystem functions. Yet rapid global change is driving unprecedented declines in both.

My work aims to:

1. Advance understanding of the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, including their dynamic feedbacks and above- and belowground processes.

2. Uncover how global change factors—such as climate extremes and land-use intensification—reshape these relationships.

3. Explore the potential of biodiversity–functioning links as nature-based solutions to mitigate the impacts of global change.

I draw on both experimental and observational data—including long-term, in-situ grassland experiments—paired with causal-inference methods to disentangle cause and effect and identify the mechanisms driving these dynamics.

I am always interested in new collaborations!
