Air Pollution and Climate Change: Air Monitoring and Effects on Vegetation.

  • My research interest involves the assessment of ozone pollution (singly and in combination with drought/ heat stress) on vegetations.
  • Abiotic stress effects on vegetation 
  • Monitoring of air pollutants and meteorological parameters.
  • Exposure and flux-response analysis on plants involves field -based studies for assessing the impacts of climate change.
