Much of my research is centered around the importance of functional diversity in plant communities across elevational and latitudinal scales. See Research for more details.

Paper accepted at Ecology. Our recent paper assesses the variation in growth and reproduction in Bursera simaruba over a 10 year period and explores how allometry and resource variability affect the tradeoff between these two life history traits. READ MORE

 

Welcome to my website:

***PURCHASE TROPICAL FORESTS***


Every penny goes to Costa Rican forest purchase, $0.15/square meter, $1,500 for two and a half football fields worth


Our purchase will save this forest forever and will

  1. *mitigate the climate change impact on dry and rainforest ecosystems

  2. *add another 30,000 species to the 300,000 species already protected

  3. *preserve the last large block of unprotected uncut old growth forest remaining in all of northwestern Costa Rica.


Carbon footprint? Every hectare purchased locks down 300 tons of carbon forever.
