Scientific staff until November 2022
Research Interests and Project
- Suspended soil
- Bromeliads as models for micro-ecosystems studies
- Leaf litter accumulation and decomposition in the canopy
- Effect of altitudinal gradients on organic matter and nutrient dynamics in suspended soils and epiphyte communities
My PhD thesis is focused on the effect of an altitudinal gradient on pools of organic matter, nutrient dynamics and growth in bromeliad communities in Veracruz, Mexico.
