I am working with plant population responses to global changes and ecological models. The main research questions my research address are :
 How can we account for local scale processes in species distribution models ?
 How can landscape heterogeneity buffers negative effects of global warming on plant populations and biodiversity ?
 How does climate change affect the demographic dynamic of plants ?
 What is the relative importance of biotic processes to understand species responses to climate change ?
To answer these questions, I look at geographical distributions of plants but also zoom in more key processes for plant population such as early life history stages. My research covers the fields of macroecology, global change ecology and population biology.
