Hola! (Hello!)

I'm a plant ecologist and conservation biologist. My research combines experimental and field-based approaches with plant functional traits to understand how environmental gradients and climate change affect plant recruitment (seeds and seedlings) and long-term vegetation dynamics in temperate, alpine, and Arctic ecosystems.

I'm also deeply engaged in conservation practice, with experience in applied conservation projects in tropical and mountain regions of Mexico, Central America and Australia. I normally work at the intersection of ecological research and real-world application, contributing to ecological restoration and community-led conservation efforts.

I'm currently a Research Fellow with the eXtreme Plant Ecology Research Team at Deakin University (Melbourne). I'm always happy to chat about plants, science, and conservation. Feel free to reach out at j.ramirez@research.deakin.edu.au or jero.vazquez@live.com.
