About
Ximena Tagle Casapia is an ecologist whose work bridges the critical gap between terrestrial and arboreal ecosystems. Her research centers on forest ecology, canopy dynamics, and the biogeochemical processes that sustain biodiversity in tropical and urban environments. Tagle Casapia’s most notable contribution is her co-authorship of the landmark 2021 paper “Extending Our Scientific Reach in Arboreal Ecosystems for Research and Management,” which has garnered 31 citations and serves as a foundational guide for canopy science. This work emphasizes the urgent need for innovative sampling and observation methods to study the often-overlooked arboreal realm—vital for understanding global nutrient cycles, carbon storage, and species interactions. Her research has direct implications for conservation strategies and sustainable forest management, particularly in the Amazon basin. By championing the integration of canopy science into mainstream ecology, Tagle Casapia has helped expand the frontiers of field research, inspiring a new generation of scientists to look up and explore the forest’s hidden third dimension. Her work continues to shape how we study and protect Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems.
