I am a quantitative ecologist and plant taxonomist.
My research interests span from investigating island and mountain biogeographical and biodiversity patterns to assessing the effects of climate and land-use change on plant species distribution

Are you involved in ecological forecasting in Europe?
We’re mapping forecasting applications across the continent — from SDMs to observatories with predictive potential.
Our goal: make EU forecasting more connected and identify both immediate and long-term forecasting potential.
