I am passionate about how diverse plant physiological and demographic strategies steer the competitive behavior and invasiveness of distinct plant species and growth forms, leading to species exclusion and/or coexistence in a changing environment. - ## People Terms [Visiting Researcher](/people-terms/visiting-researcher)
