Research Interests

I study how land use change and flooding alter soil biogeochemistry and gas exchanges (CO₂, CH₄) in the Pampas and Espinal ecoregions of Argentina. Building on established evidence that land use has altered hydrology, my work quantifies how these conditions affect soil biogeochemical cycles and gas exchange. In collaboration with a research team at the University of San Luis, I aim to identify the key variables and processes that drive carbon losses and variability to inform sustainable land management and climate-smart practices.
