The research in my group encompasses a variety of projects sharing interest for biodiversity and carbon cycling as a key function of the ecosystem. We are working in the tropics, a biome most important for the global carbon cycle and for biodiversity. The present proposal concentrates on two short-term objectives: (I) the search for mechanisms underlying the observed biodiversity effects reported in our tropical tree plantation, (II) the extension of our analysis of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning to natural tropical forests.

我小组的研究包括各种项目，这些项目对生物多样性和碳循环作为生态系统的关键功能有共同的兴趣。我们正在热带地区工作，这是一个对全球碳循环和生物多样性最重要的生物群落。目前的建议集中在两个短期目标上：(1)寻找在我们的热带人工林中观察到的生物多样性效应的机制；(2)将我们对生物多样性和生态系统功能的分析扩展到天然热带森林。
