Research
My principal interests are related to forestry and tree ecophysiology.  However, I am particularly interested in the influence of resource availability, biotic and abiotic factors on the physiological performance of tree plants. I am also interested in dendrochronology, scaling theory and the allometric relationships among physiological parameters and plant size.
