How do competitive interactions shape the ecology, population dynamics, and traits of species and communities?

My current research focuses on the role of competition for light in vegetation in shaping:

1. the diversity of growth forms found in different locations,
2. the coordination of different traits across species, and
3. emergent properties, such as leaf area cover and carbon storage.

I am currently employed as a post-doctoral fellow in Mark Westoby's comparative ecology lab, at Macquarie University.
