Research lines

• Climate change and agroecosystem sustainability

• Link between soil carbon sequestration, nutrient availability and stoichiometry in the Plant-Soil System, plant diversity and the influence of land use management and climate change may have on these dynamics.

• Measurements and Modeling of Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Agroecosystems
