Robert Muscarella

Robert Muscarella is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Ecology and Genetics, Plant Ecology and Evolution, Uppsala University. His work bridges plant ecology, climate change impacts, and tropical forest dynamics.

Research interests include

• Climate change effects on forest structure
• Functional trait analysis
• Species distribution modeling
• Post-disturbance forest recovery
• Ecohydrology of tropical systems
• Remote sensing applications in ecology

Recent publications highlight trends in tree mortality, hurricane impacts, drought responses, and functional trait variability across tropical ecosystems. Methodological contributions include open-access species distribution modeling tools.
