I am a research Scientist in the Institute for Agricultural Plant Physiology and Ecology (IFEVA-CONICET) and an Assistant Professor of the department of Ecology in the School of Agronomy, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. My broad scale research interests are in the area of global change effects on terrestrial ecosystem ecology, with a focus on ecosystem-level questions including controls of primary production, ecosystem sensitivity to drought, and the effects of exotic plant invasions on ecosystem functioning. My field sites cover a range of natural and human modified ecosystems in the Patagonia and Pampas region of Argentina, where I am studying ecosystems changes after agricultural abandonment and the impacts of agricultural practices on greenhouse gases emissions. I am actively involved in international global research networks (The Nutrient Network, The Drought Network, and BIODESERT), and the Ecological Society of Argentina.
