Short presentation

My research focuses on understanding terrestrial ecosystem dynamics and associated feedbacks under changing climate.  I have primarily specialised in process-based ecosystem modelling, and have extensive experience in developing and applying different models, and also integrating observation-based data for different modelling purposes and/or answering different research questions.
