Project

Influence of trophic network structure on ecosystem functioning.
My PhD project aims at improving our understanding of the biodiversity-functioning (BEF) relationship within food webs. The goal is to understand the mechanisms of this relationship within communities to improve BEF predictions. To do so, I am analyzing the influence of different measures of trophic network structure on communities biomass and productivity using a computational approach.
