Leandro Maracahipes. Associate Research Google Scholar | Lattes | Orcid | ResearchGate
Dr. Maracahipes is a plant ecologist interested in how plants and ecosystems respond to fire, drought, deforestation, climate change and land use in the tropics. His research focuses on plant functional traits, including both hydraulic and morphological traits. Currently, he is interested in understanding how the synergy between compound disturbance events and extreme drought events affects tree mortality rates and forest composition, structure, and functioning in Amazonia and Cerrado.
