    Specialties of Selene Baez:
    My expertise is in the field of plant community ecology. My experience within this field includes studies of interspecific interactions (plant-plant, plant-animal), experimental manipulations of climate change, and long-term monitoring of plant diversity in high altitude grasslands (paramos) and andean forests.
