Career Trajectory
Bio
My research career started as pre-doc researcher at INIA-CIFOR funded by Ministry of Science and Technology where I developed forest growth models, including site index and density-dependent mortality algorithms that were incorportated in the IBERO model. My doctoral dissertion deepened on the variability of dominant height growth of Pinus pinaster where I developed site index models including climate attributes and simulations of growth under different climate change scenarios (IPCC-SRES). These models are being used by the forest service in Castilla y León. After the PhD I started analyzing the effect of forest management on ecosystem services like carbon sequestration in soils and nutrient recycling (decomposition) in pure and mixed Mediterranean forests and in dry afromontane forests in Ethiopia.
My interest for mixed-species stands led to the creation and coordination of the European Network on Mixed Forests funded by COST Association (https://bit.ly/312rEpR) during 2013-2017. This network has increased our knowledge on the dynamics, ecology and management of mixed forests including a reference definition of mixed forests. I participated on highly cited studies about the productivity, light interception, canopy structure, the stability of growth and the influence of climate on the maximum size-density relationship in beech-pine stands in Europe paving the way for other actions and projects across Europe. More recently, I started a research line about the influence of functional traits and stress tolerance in the maximum density of forests and ecosystem services trade-offs of temperate forests in USA and Spain for which I have been funded by OECD.
Currently, I am the leader of a research line on adaptive silviculture and applied forest ecology (ASAFE research team) in the context of socio-ecological systems at the Department of Biogeography and Global Change (MNCNCSIC). We have performed studies on the effect of socio-demographic variables on forest making decisions in Italy and the provision of ecosystem services in spontaneous forest expansion in Spain due to rural exodus. I currently coordinate the project COMFOR-SUDOE (www.comfor-sudoe.eu) funded by INTERREG IV where we seek for the promotion of complex structures in Southwest Europe.
Recently, I have been appoitned as coordinator of the IUFRO research group RG1.09 on Ecology and Silviculture of Mixed Forests (https://bit.ly/3lj5YN3). As a result of my research I have been included in the list of a percentile rank of 2% or above in most cited researchers in 2020 and 2021 in Forestry (https://elsevier.digitalcommonsdata.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/4) and my normalized impact factor for the period 2015-2018 is 4.505.
