S&T Expertise*

I am is a research Scientist in the Institute for Agricultural Plant Physiology and Ecology (IFEVA-CONICET) and an Assistant Professor of the department of Ecology in the School of Agronomy, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. My broad scale research interests are in the area of terrestrial ecosystem ecology, with a focus on ecosystem-level questions including controls of primary production, ecosystem-water dynamics, and the effects of exotic plant invasions on ecosystem functioning. My field sites cover a range of natural and human modified ecosystems in the Patagonia and Pampas region of Argentina, where I am studying ecosystems changes after agricultural abandonment and the impacts of agricultural practices on green house gases emissions. I am involved in international global research networks (NutNet and DroughtNet). *Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
