I am a tropical ecologist with a key interest in the importance of plant-soil relationships for ecosystem processes in tropical forests (particularly South-east Asia). I co-lead the Soils, Plants and Ecosystems research group at MMU.
The role of plant-soil relationships in the functioning of tropical forests.
