Descripción: «Area of scientific activity: Terrestrial ecology and plant eco-physiology: study of plant responses to stress, including climate change ? elevated carbon dioxide, water deficits and high temperatures, nutrient use efficiency. Study of the carbon cycle at ecosystem level ? role of forests to mitigate the effects of greenhouse gas emissions. The application of knowledge to improve ecosystem restoration in Mediterranean conditions and to understand the functional role of plant biodiversity.
Present research interests: Cork oak physiology and the use of ecological and eco-physiological knowledge to assess ecosystem vulnerability and devise methods to improve tree regeneration and the restoration of oak woodland ecosystems. Portuguese forests carbon balance. Assessment of the effects of global change in forests and biodiversity. Study of the importance of biodiversity and ecological processes in Mediterranean ecosystems.»
