Research Interests

My main research interests are land-atmosphere interactions, biogeochemical cycles and climate change. In my bachelor thesis, I evaluated climate model outputs regarding climate change in primary climate variables in the Iberian Peninsula. During my master thesis, I studied CO₂ exchange at a subcanopy level in an olive orchard in SE of Spain, with differentiated soil management.
My PhD is focused on land-atmosphere interactions over agroforestry systems (combination of fast-growing tree rows destinated to energy production with crops/grasslands alleys) and conventional monoculture systems in Northern Germany, inside the SIGNAL project (3^rd phase). To evaluate these interactions, micrometeorological measurement techniques are applied (eddy covariance method). My main objective is to study long-term impact of agroforestry systems in relation to reference monoculture systems, regarding CO₂, H₂O and energy fluxes, and to evaluate how different parameters in an agroforestry system (climatic conditions, soil composition, distance between tree rows,…) influence global balances of these fluxes.
