I am ecologist specializing in biological invasions. My main goal is to elucidate the impacts of invasive plants on biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics. I am particularly interested in assessing biological interactions (soil-plant-animal) related to the invasion process of non-native plants. I investigate how abiotic and biotic factors shape invaded ecosystems. Associate Editor of Management of Biological Invasions, Editorial Board member of Flora, and Guest Editor of Ecosistemas.
