Research interest
My research interest focuses on soil biodiversity and ecosystem services. Particularly, I’m interested in analyzing how human management in agricultural landscapes can underlying changes in soil insect communities (biodiversity, traits, etc) and how this can affect the soil ecosystem services.
Projects
Present: Global Microcosm Experiment:
This study pretends to examine how current and future climatic conditions, forest habitat degradation and management, influence biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in water-filled microcosms worldwide.
2018-2020: Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Soil and Water Management:
The Case of the Indigenous Resguardo of Santa Sofia, Amazonas reservation of Santa Sofía, Amazonas. The Amazon is the most biodiverse region on the planet. However, the constant loss of biodiversity and deterioration of the ES is the result of a complex set of interrelated factors. This research aims to evaluate the impact of different land uses in the Santa Sofia reserve (Amazonas), evaluating active and Chagras, Chagras in different states of restoration and comparing them with contrasting systems such as virgin forests and pastures.
2012-2017: Indicators of efficiency in the use of biophysical, socioeconomic and environmental resources of productive systems of the Altillanura: Scenario for the eco-efficient management of the territory.
Developed in the complex western highlands of Colombia, the objective of this study was to evaluate how different agricultural practices can affect the landscape and the ecosystem services. This research was funded by the Agricultural Ministry of Colombia and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture.
2007-2011: AMAZ_BD: Biodiversity in Amazonian landscapes, goods production and ecosystem services.
This project, funded by French National Research Agency (ANR) and the Institute of Research for Development focused on understanding how the changes in land use in the Amazonian region can affect ecosystem services. More than 30 researchers from France, Colombia, and Brazil were involved in this project.
