Research interests:

My research interests lie at the intersection of evolutionary biology, plant community ecology and ecosystem ecology. I am interested in exploring general patterns of plant communities, such as plant (species, functional and phylogenetic) diversity, plant coexistence and community assembly, and plant trait evolution and variation. I am also interested in examining the effects of plant diversity or interactions on the litter decomposition processes in various types of ecosystems, and discussing those issues in an evolutionary perspective.
