LINE / Sustainable forest management
Forest Engineer from the Polytechnic University of Valencia and PhD in Terrestrial Ecology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
Currently a lecturer at the School of Agri-Food and Biosystems Engineering of Barcelona (Polytechnic University of Catalonia), where she teaches in the Landscape Architecture degree program. Her research focuses on forest resilience, investigating how trees respond to disturbances such as wildfires, bark beetle outbreaks, and droughts using methodologies including dendrochronology, isotopic analysis, and terpene quantification. More recently, she has expanded her interests to understanding how species interactions vary along environmental gradients.
