Maria Rosa Guerrieri

I got my BSc in Forest and Environmental Sciences (2003) and the international PhD in Crop Systems Forestry and Environmental Sciences (2007) at the University of Basilicata in Italy. I am a plant physiologist and forest ecologist with broad research interests unified by the goal of better understanding how forest functioning varies in relation to global changes (namely the increase in atmospheric CO2, variations in atmospheric nitrogen deposition). During my +10 years international research experiences in the UK, USA and Spain, I have significantly contributed to improving our understanding on forest carbon, nitrogen and water cycling by using stable isotopes alone or in combination with other methodological approaches (e.g., metagenomic, leaf gas exchanges, eddy covariance, dendroecology and xylogenesis), as demonstrated by international collaborations I built and papers I published (including 30 in ISI-WoS journals, including PNAS, Nature Ecology and Evolution and Scientific Reports, Global Change Biology and several contributions to EU reports and journal relevant at the national level).
