Introduction
I teach at the Facultad de Ingenieria Agricola. Current research includes the application of GIS, remote sensing, and spectroscopy for soil and vegetation analysis. I promote the use of free software for data analysis, text preparation and publications. I work with enthusiasm; I adapt to collaborative work and to the use of new technologies.

Forests are key ecosystems for climate change mitigation, playing a pivotal role in C and N land sequestering and storage. However, the sustainable management of forests is challenging for foresters who need continuous and reliable information on the status of soil conditions. However, the monitoring of soils in temperate evergreen forests, via sat...
El objetivo principal de la presente investigación fue evaluar la sustentabilidad de los
sistemas agropecuarios de la zona de influencia del Proyecto de Riego Carrizal-Chone,
Etapa I, en la provincia de Manabí, Ecuador.
Para la caracterización se partíó de la delimitación del área de estudio y para la obtención
de la información se aplicó la me...
This climatic variability affects erosion patterns. An important aspect prior to the calculation of erosion is Erosivity. In the present work the objective is to undertake a spatial estimation of Erosivity in Manabí province with the CORINE method. This method calculates Erosivity by integrating two climatic indices: the Modified Fournier Index (MF...
El objetivo principal de la presente investigación fue evaluar la sustentabilidad de los sistemas agropecuarios del proyecto de -riego Carrizal-Chone en su primera Etapa de la provincia de Manabí, Ecuador. Se utilizó MESMI,para su evolución, complementada con lo propuesto por Sepúlveda, (2008) y Arnes, (2011)y lineamientos de Astier, at al.(2012).S...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important indicator of soil quality; an elevated percentage of SOC indicates very high-quality soil, physically as well as chemically. As such, the principal objective of the present study was to determine the concentration of SOC at different depths, as well as its accumulation through the entire soil profile. The C...
La provincia de Manabí de la República del Ecuador, ha mantenido una posición importante dentro de la economía nacional. Según el INEC (2010), fue la provincia de mayor superficie agrícola del país, con 1´156 941 hectáreas que representa el 15.84 por ciento del área total. El proyecto de riego Carrizal-Chone, constituye uno de los principales proye...
Most of the basins in the Central Valley region of Cochabamba (Bolivia) show soil erosion, scarce
vegetation cover, and periods of intense and short rainfall that occasionally generate violent river
floods from runoff that, as a direct consequence, produce disasters that affect the urban and rural
infrastructure. The objective of the present wor...
La mayor parte de las cuencas de la región del Valle Central de Cochabamba (Bolivia) presenta erosión de suelo; escasa cobertura vegetal y períodos de lluvia intensa y de corta duración que ocasionalmente generan crecidas de ríos violentas de escorrentías que, como consecuencia directa, producen desastres que afectan a la infraestructura urbana y r...
La represa la Esperanza, ubicada en la provincia de Manabí de la República del Ecuador constituye uno de los principales proyectos hídricos, su capacidad es de 450 millones de metros cúbicos de agua y es utilizada para consumo humano y riego para la agricultura, y unos de los principales problemas que se observa es la desforestación agresiva de sus...
Soil spectroscopy is known as a rapid and cost-effective method for predicting soil properties from spectral data. The objective of this work was to build a statistical model to predict soil carbon content from spectral data by partial least squares regression using a limited number of soil samples. Soil samples were collected from two soil orders...
The province of Manabi is one of the main farming areas of Ecuador, and it has seen an increase in land use in response to the demand for food. Unfortunately, this area growth has brought problems such as inadequate field planting techniques and forest destruction. Alternative techniques or processes to improve productivity in the medium and long t...

El principal objetivo del presente estudio es la elaboración del Plan de Desarrollo y Ordenamiento Territorial (PDyOT) del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado de la Parroquia San Gregorio, provincia de Esmeraldas, de la República del Ecuador, como una herramienta de planificación y gestión adecuada para la toma de decisiones y lograr un desarrollo su...
The main objective of this study was the preparation of the
Development and Land Management Plan (PDyOT) of the
Decentralized Autonomous Government of Parroquia San
Gregorio, Esmeraldas province of Ecuador, as a tool for the
adequate planning and management of decision-making to achieve
sustainable development.
It began with the diagnostic phase, a...
Desde hace unas décadas se han implementado técnicas espaciales en el estudio de los recursos naturales, la más importante es la clasificación temática de imágenes satelitales para determinar el tipo de cobertura. Las técnicas convencionales de clasificación no garantizan una cartografía temática exacta, se basan en el análisis a nivel de pixel, lo...
Con el propósito de optimizar la administración de la maquinaria agrícola se analizó la demanda de máquinas de un sistema productivo de maíz en invierno y de maíz, maní y sandía en verano en una finca de 100 hectáreas, del Valle del Río Portoviejo, de la Provincia de Manabí, Ecuador. Para lograrlo se estableció la disponibilidad de tiempo apropiado...
