Professional info
I am an ecosystem ecologist with wide experience in biogeochemistry, ecosystem functioning, atmosphere-plant-soil-microbe interactions, and global change. My main current research lines are: 1) Effects of Mediterranean forest die-off on soil microbial community and function; 2) Functioning, controls, and response to realistic climate change scenarios of ecosystem processes related to C and N cycling in the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado); 3) Understanding soil-atmosphere GHG exchange in different natural and anthropogenic ecosystems and its response to different global change drivers.
