Teaching & Research Focus
I am an agroecologist and landscape ecologist focusing on the links between land-use and agricultural landscape management, and the maintenance and resilience of biodiversity and ecosystem services in agriculture, particularly pollination and natural pest control. With this focus my overall aim is to combine environmental sustainability with agricultural food production, now and under changing future conditions. I investigate ways to attain this goal at field, landscape and cross-regional levels using large syntheses of empirical data, modelling and field studies of the impact of policy, landscape and farm-level management on biodiversity, ecosystem services and agricultural production.
