Ecophysiologist investigating plant responses to heat and drought 🌡️💦🍃🍂

New paper 📣🏔️ In tropical montane grassland, an increase of 3°C in temperature by 2100 will increase the proportion of species with entire leaves. In contrast, toothed leaves have higher stomatal conductance rates, making them vulnerable to atmospheric drought. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

My PhD paper is out!

We showed that both forest and grassland are vulnerable to drought, but the vulnerability is attributable to different reasons: higher sensitivity to drought in forests (narrower #SM50) and lower fog exposure in grasslands. Check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
