Introduction
Currently a PhD researcher at CTFC Catalonia and a PhD student a Universitat de Lleida. I have a doble degree in MSc. European Forestry and Forest and their Environment from UEF Finland and AgroParisTech in France. I have a Master from UNINI in Climate Change and a Licencitate in Forest Restoration and Land-use Zoning.
I have worked in tropical forest in forest dynamics, carbon inventory and plant-pollinator interactions, soil quality and carbon stock.

Context
Recent shifts in fire regimes challenge recovery of forest ecosystems. In Catalonia, Spain, the capacity of Pinus nigra to persist has been affected by recent high severity fires.
Objectives
To understand the biophysical conditions that support P. nigra recovery after high severity fire, we investigate the main biophysical drivers—seed ava...
Previous investigations of the role of pathogens as drivers of community dynamics in forests have mostly focused on interspecific interactions between canopy trees and seedlings via soil feedbacks. However, feedbacks can also occur directly between canopy trees and seedlings when spores of foliar and stem pathogens fall onto seedlings regenerating...
Costa Rica's National Climate Change Strategy stressed the importance of forest ecosystems in the absorption and fixation of CO2, as a mechanism to achieve carbon neutrality. This research sought to estimate the biomass and carbon stored in the different components of the forest of three sites belonging to the "El Rodeo" Protected Zone, located wes...
En las décadas de los 60’s y 70’s, se generó una pérdida de cobertura forestal que afectó a la provincia de Guanacaste, ocasionando una degradación del bosque de costa, ecosistema único debido a la capacidad de adaptación de las especies a las condiciones abióticas. Esto impactó negativamente a las tortugas marinas, que han sufrido un desbalance en...
Stingless bees are important pollinators in tropical and subtropical regions; they are associated with the flora that provides them with food, sites for nesting, resins, sap and exudates. We sought to determine the association between bees and flora in the cerro El Hacha sector (intervened primary forest) and the Pocosol sector (secondary forest) o...
