To effectively confront urgent environmental issues like urban sprawl , unsustainable agriculture, and global change stressors, it is important to comprehend the mechanisms that underlie landscape and soil patterns. This entails studying the interactions and feedback loops between biogeochemical cycles, including those of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and silicon (Si), alongside processes like soil formation and transformation. Such analyses are essential for refining predictive models of how human activities influence ecosystem functions. My research adopts an interdisciplinary approach, spanning various ecosystems, and utilizing cutting edge techniques in geospatial modeling, vegetation and landscape assessment, and laboratory analyses of soil and plant samples. The scope of my work includes both tropical and temperate environments, covering urban areas, resource abundant and limited agroecosystems, forests, grasslands, and alpine mountain regions.
