Research

The influence of plants on the cycle of materials (water, nutrients, salts, carbon) in terrestrial ecosystems. The impact of vegetation changes (afforestation of grasslands, deforestation and cropping in forests, overgrazing degradation) on ecosystem functioning, its interaction with the hydrological system. Biological carbon uptake and sequestration. Biogeography of terrestrial ecosystems. Productive systems design. Approaches and methodology include: hydrological observations, physical and chemical determinations on soils and sediments, ecophysiological measurements on plants, biophysical characterization of the terrestrial surface with remote sensing, simulation models, stable isotope natural abundance, and others.
