Yadvinder Malhi

I am a Professor of Ecosystem Science at the University of Oxford, and I study the living world, how it works and how it changes. I am the Director of the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery.

I am an ecosystem scientist who explores the functioning of the biosphere and its interactions with climate change. I have a particular fascination with and love for tropical forests, though I have recently been spotted in ecosystems ranging from savannas, the Arctic, tropical coral reefs and Oxfordshire’s woodlands and floodplain meadows.
