Research Areas
With broad interests on ecology, we recently focus on the agroforestry ecosystem in relation to rubber. For the plants, we study physiological ecology characteristics to understand how those characteristics are influenced or shaped by interaction of plants. For soil, we are interested in the microorganism under different plantation models.
