Biography
Forest Engineer (University of Chile, 1995). Research Sufficiency (University of Barcelona, ​​2000). PhD in Physiology of Plants and Environments (University of Barcelona, ​​2004). Research on Effect of environmental conditions on the physiological, morphological, dendrometric and productive proposals of plant species. Effects of silvicultural interventions on growth, development of regeneration and sprouting of strains and their physiological responses. In addition to forestry and non-wood forest products especially with Mediterranean forest species. Propagation of forest species and planting, and the effect of stressful environmental conditions on livening, restoration or enrichment activities, mainly with Mediterranean forest species. Climate change, adaptation and mitigation of tree formations in the Chilean Mediterranean zone.
