My research focuses on understanding tree biology and forest dynamics at the tree population and community level, with attention to both the spatial and temporal domain of phenomena. In particular, my interests direct to the study of tree growth/climate relationships, tree longevity and fruiting dynamics, forest productivity, forest bioclimatic classification and climate-change bioclimatic shifts, structural dynamics in old-growth forests and disturbance regimes. Dendroecology, permanent plot field measurements, spatial and multivariate time series analysis are used as main investigation tools.
