Tropical forest research
The rainforests of Southeast Asia are rapidly disappearing. And with the trees goes the service they provide. A forest is a water reservoir, it acts against drought and it is a source and a sink for carbon. That's why ecologists came onto the scene.
Urban green space, values and wellbeing in urban Ghana
Exploring how urban green space is (dis)valued in Accra and Kumasi, and the potential (dis)benefits to subjective wellbeing
Remote sensing approaches to characterise pollinator diversity and plant-pollinator interactions in nature recovery landscapes of Eastern Ghana
Evaluating the effects of nature recovery on pollinators their interactions with plants.
Assessing urban ecosystem composition and function to understand pathways towards equitable, Nature-smart cities
Through considering the ecosystem composition and functioning of Greater London, I hope to provide not only a comprehensive analysis of nature of in cities as it currently stands, but I also hope to provide routes to improving nature in these areas based on this.
Revealing the compositional and functional responses of mycorrhizal fungi to rewilding at the Knepp Wildland
Using novel eDNA methods to understand if rewilding is also serving below-ground communities, focusing on 'keystone' mycorrhizal communities and their functions.
Exploring the ecological effects of forest pests and diseases in a changing world
We leverage experimental and synthesised data approaches to create integrative models that predict the effects of pests and pathogens on forest ecology.
