Maria Rosa Guerrieri

Maria Rosa (Rossella) Guerrieri got her 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. She is 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 her +10 years international research experiences in the UK, USA and Spain, she has significantly contributed to improving our understanding on forest responses to global change  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 built and papers published (including 39 in ISI-WoS journals, including PNAS, Nature Geoscience, Nature Ecology and Evolution and Global Change Biology).

She is currently serving as Delegate for Orientation for three-year degrees  (except for the programs in Cesena)
