Research interests
I am a forest scientist in the field of forest ecology and dynamics. My research is currently focused on the development of silvicultural approaches for forest restoration, which I address through field surveys and silvicultural experiments. I am particularly interested in providing evidence on how to conciliate the development of plantation forestry with conservation purposes and the provision of ecosystem goods and services.

- Systemic solutions for upscaling of urgent ecosystem restoration for forest-related biodiversity and ecosystem services (SUPERB)
- Development of low-risk methods for regenerating dead Norway spruce stands in the southern Black Forest model region
- Restoration of native forests from Pinus radiata plantations in southern Chile
