My research interest is centered on how conifers are adapting to climatic variations. Climate change results in an increased frequency of severe weather events and heightened stress on plants. I am interested in investigating how the extremes of temperature, water, and freezing stresses will impact the physiology traits of conifers. Using hydraulic conductivity measurements, I plan to focus my investigations on water movement and uptake. My research also explores how their evergreen nature affects these physiological traits.
