Introduction to Statistical Modelling with R

I am a soil-plant hydrologist working at the interface of soil physics, plant physiology, and ecohydrology. My research focuses on physical properties and processes in plants and the critical zone that determine how plants regulate their water use under complex environmental stress. I study these dynamics across multiple spatial and temporal scales, from organ-level processes to single-plant responses and field-scale patterns. I combine multiscale experimental approaches, from controlled environments to field trials, with soil-plant hydraulic and structural-functional modeling. Ultimately, my aims are to address food security issues, and to contribute towards refining models of terrestrial carbon, water, and energy fluxes, where plant water use regulation plays a central role in coupling land–atmosphere processes.
