Scholar-generated biography
Mirindi Eric Dusenge is an ARC DECRA Fellow at the Australian National University, specializing in plant ecophysiology and global change biology. His research explores how elevated CO2, temperature changes, and climate stressors affect photosynthesis, photorespiration, and respiration in tree species. He investigates acclimation responses to warming and CO2 enrichment, focusing on boreal and tropical montane ecosystems. His work highlights the impacts of thermal stress on photosynthetic capacity, stomatal conductance, and leaf-level gas exchange. Dusenge also examines the role of leaf nutrients, functional traits, and successional strategies in shaping plant responses to climate change. His studies contribute to understanding the resilience and vulnerability of forest ecosystems under global environmental shifts.
