Research interests

My research interests are in the field of ecology, more especifically how forests respond to variations in climate. My fields of experience are dendrochronology and ecophysiology of tropical trees. Currently, I am working with the age and allocation of carbohydrates in trees under stress events such as drought and extreme heat. I am also working in the use of radiocarbon age of the carbohydres of the trees to improve models on the flux of the carbon through the different reservoirs of the earth system.
