I explore the long-term recovery of human-disturbed ecosystems to improve restoration practices. I am currently leading a network of researchers worldwide (which is open to new collaborators!) interested in the recovery of post-agricultural forests through chronosequences. Collaborators collect soil, root and leave samples in their recovering forest chronosequences, enabling us to study the recovery of tree-ectomycorrhizal fungi networks and its relationship with belowground multifunctionality.
