Field and lab experiments designed to understand how native species might influence the colonization success of a range of target species for restoration.

FACITITATION STRUCTURING COMMUNITIES

Experimental investigations on how species diversity could influence the stability and functioning of restored ecosystems.

BIODVERSITY AND FUNCIONING OF ECOSYSTEMS

Comparative work using data sets of species morphofunctional characteristics to define functional groups. Investigation of spatial patterns of association between species in field conditions.

FUNCTIONAL GROUPS AND ASSEMBY RULES

Field and Lab experiments evaluating how plant physiological characteristics related to their capacity to adapt to various stress conditions.
