Research area
I am a Geographer with emphasis on Soils Science, Plant Ecology and Geomorphology. I did my PhD on the effects of soil erosion on soil carbon dynamics at different temporal and spatial scales. I apply both experimental and modeling approaches in my research. My interests focus on the connections and feedbacks between different environmental cycles in soils (C-​N-P Dynamics) and how human activities and Global Change influence these cycles and soils as a resource.
