We study forests, their dynamics and biodiversity, and their essential role in providing ecosystem services in the context of climate and global change. Our multidisciplinary team investigates how biodiversity, ecological processes, and forest services are influenced by environmental and human factors such as climate, fire, and forest management.
We use advanced data-science tools, integrating field information, scientific datasets, remote sensing, and simulations at multiple spatial (from local to global) and temporal scales. Furthermore, we collaborate with researchers working on the bioeconomy, environmental policies, and ecological restoration to propose innovative Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) that connect forests with society and provide solutions to help address the major challenges of global change.
