I am a plant ecologist, mainly interested in population dynamics of many different species from many different aspects. Using population dynamics studies, I study how we can effectively protect some very rare species or how plants can cope with future climate change with increased herbivore pressure in high altitudes in Nepal. Not only plant-herbivore interaction but also the role of plant-soil feedbacks for species coexistence is another research topic in which I am deeply interested.
