- Forest water-use efficiency in relation to global change drivers (including increasing atmospheric CO2, variation in atmospheric nitrogen and sulfur deposition, climate extremes, land-use change);
- Nitrogen deposition and forest N cycling with a focus on elucidating nitrogen transformations occurring in the phyllosphere.
Active projects (as PI):
2022-2026: COST Action-CA21138 - Joint effects of CLimate Extremes and Atmospheric depositioN on European FORESTs (CLEANFOREST)
2023-2025: Effects of nitrogen deposition and climate extremes on European forests: combining stable isotopes in tree rings and ecosystem fluxes (NEXTRES) - PRIN 2022 national project funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, proposal code 202299J927, CUP J53D23002640006.
