My research focuses on highly dynamic ecosystems, such as intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams, where I explore the impact of drying duration and frequency on aquatic and sediment biodiversity (microbes and invertebrates). I also investigate how aquatic and sediment biodiversity influence ecosystem functions (organic matter decomposition, enzymatic activities, and energy transfer to higher trophic levels) over gradients of drying stress and land-use intensification.
Currently, using state-of-the-art molecular techniques, I am exploring the abiotic factors that determine microbial biodiversity in extreme environments and their contribution to biogeochemical cycles.
