Project: Towards a multi-dimensional assessment of plant diversity in an enriched oil palm plantation
Research:
I have a broad interest in tropical forest ecosystems, focusing on their ecology, biodiversity, restoration, and conservation. My research interest lies in understanding the dynamics and factors driving biodiversity across various dimensions in natural forest and ecosystems undergoing recovery.
