Research focus:

My research focuses on interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of forest management and ecology, emphasizing a holistic approach to sustainable forestry. I work on the assessment of the impacts of timber harvesting on soil disturbances, particularly in broadleaf forests, and explore how forest management affects soil biodiversity, fine roots, and litter decomposition. I also use remote sensing, GIS and GNSS technologies to develop decision-support systems that help optimize forestry practices and minimize environmental disruptions.
My work has demonstrated the significant effects of both large-scale and small-scale harvesting systems on soil properties and biodiversity, particularly in Mediterranean beech forests. Additionally, I have developed tools for identifying the best timber extraction systems and have contributed to the digital transformation of forestry. My research is internationally recognized, with collaboration across various countries, and supports the move towards more sustainable and ecological forest management practices.
