Personal profile

Expertise

I have BSc (2009), MSc (2012) and a PhD in Ecology (2017) from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN, Brazil). I have expertise in experimental ecology and research with restoration ecology, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, plant functional ecology and invasion ecology. Previously, I carried out research on the restoration of plant diversity in invaded grasslands, assessing the functioning of these ecosystems under different climate change scenarios. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the WILD Research Group (Wildness, biodiversity and ecosystems under change) of VUB. I am working on the project entitled "Protecting plant diversity via stoichiometric nutrient networks across Europe (DiviN-P)" funded by the Biodiversa initiative (at the European level) to be developed in cooperation with the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy. This project aims at identifying which types of herbaceous plant communities are most vulnerable to species loss and turnover in response to changes in nutrient supply, nutrient stoichiometry, species invasions, climate change, and their interactions. For that, a series of field and greenhouse experiments will test novel plant interactions between endangered species of N and P-limited habitats in Central/North Europe and potentially invasive species shifting northward from Southern Europe.
