Jiménez Jaén, Juan José

Biography

Extensive field ecology and survey work in environmental and biodiversity studies and specifically in soil ecology. Studies on nutrient dynamics (phosphorus, carbon and nitrogen) in the soil and structures produced by soil organisms.

Research Interest

Soil macroinvertebrate biology and ecology, including studies on the biogenic structures produced by earthworms, termites and ants and their impact in soil function. Spatial distribution of soil organisms. Soil carbon sequestration studies. International experience in soil and environmental sciences linked to rural development and preservation of natural resources. My main study methods include experimental field design strategies for long-term surveys and the statistical planning of both field and lab experimentation, including spatial statistics tools.
