Dr Ted Feldpausch
RESEARCH OVERVIEW
To understand the drivers of tropical forest and savanna distribution, dynamics and structure, and how disturbance, including natural processes and anthropogenic conversion through agriculture and logging, affect long-term forest function and carbon dynamics.
Ted's research interests include the ecology of tropical forests and savannas; effects of climate change on forest and savanna composition, structure and carbon accumulation; land-use change, forest disturbance and recovery.
