Address:
I study how plant communities respond to a changing environment by integrating field experiments, theoretical ecology, and computational modeling to improve forecasts of community assembly and ecosystem function, ultimately developing scalable frameworks that link plant traits, biodiversity mechanisms, and environmental change to guide resilient restoration strategies.
