Graduated in Agricultural Engineering from the University of São Paulo (1969), with specialization in Forestry, Master in Crop Science from the University of São Paulo (1973), Ph.D. in Biometrics - North Carolina State University (1977) and Postdoctorate in Statistical Distributions by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Trieste-Italy), and Quality Control in Forest Industries by the Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute - Tsukuba-Japan. He is currently a full professor at the University of São Paulo. He was Director of the Computer Center of USP's Luiz de Queiroz Campus in Piracicaba for 8 years and member of the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) Reforestation Working Group. Authored as Lead Author of the 2013 Revised Supplementary Guidance Arising from Kyoto Protocol (IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). He is a member of CTNBio - National Commission on Biosafety - Ministry of Science and Technology acting in the Environment Chamber. It has a patent registered with INPI on methodology for PSA (Payment for Environmental Services). He is currently Head of the Department of Forest Sciences at USP. Has experience in Agronomy and Natural Resources, focusing on Applied Statistics, Forest Inventory and Growth Models, acting on the following subjects: biomass, agronomic experimentation, carbon, greenhouse gas emissions and removals inventory, reforestation , reclamation of degraded areas, sampling, growth, forestry, and soils. Currently develops methodology for inventory of emissions and removals of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, biodiversity sampling and agronomic experimentation.removals of greenhouse effect gases in the atmosphere.

Agriculture is replacing native vegetation worldwide, at a faster rate in the last decades. Biodiversity and ecosystem services have severely been affected, thus compromising essential services for human survival, such as food production, water availability, climate regulation, fiber production, and aesthetic values. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) - which included the Payment for Ecosystem …
The importance of Urban Forests to the sustainability of cities has been widely discussed and recognized. It is undeniable that environmental services provided by these ecosystems, such as carbon sequestration and storage, are fundamental to cities and to the well-being of human populations. Although the street trees are a minor component of urban forest, they are significant to the envir…
The cubed for determination of volume and profile of the trunk of trees leads to an increase in cost and time of inventory. The present work has as main objective to test the geometric method in native forests in three different vegetation types, determining the accuracy of volumetric equations and taper equations generated from the method in question, eliminating the traditional cubed. T…
The last decades were marked by growing concern in the world as the environmental issue, especially regarding climate change. It is known that changes in land use have been cited as a major emitters of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere in tropical countries. In the state of Sao Paulo, who suffers dramatic changes in land use since 1850, it is necessary to evaluate and compare the differ…

The biomes Cerrado and Atlantic Rain Forest are considered hotspots, threatened in the highest degree. In São Paulo state, despite the intense fragmentation occurred in the last decades, there are still remnants of these important areas. The large-scale deforestation, has serious consequences for the environment, one of the most discussed is global warming. Estimates of forest biomass are…
The dwarf brocket deer (Mazaman nana) is a cervid species that occupies the forests of southern Brazil and has been greatly affected by the drastic reduction of forested areas, especially the Araucaria forest. It is the neotropical deer less studied by science and its conservation status is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as "data deficient" and the Brazil…

The Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes are considered hotspots, endangered at the highest degree. In São Paulo State, Brazil, despite intense fragmentation in the last decades, there are still important remnants of these environments. The large-scale deforestation has serious consequences for the environment, namely the widely discussed issue of global warming. Estimating forest biomass i…
Bird assemblages are commonly indicated as good ecological indicators of habitat quality. However, for patches imbedded in a highly agricultural landscape, as happens for the majority of Atlantic Forest in Brazil, few research was made in order to test the efficacy of bird assemblages as indicators. Therefore, we focused eight forest patches inserted in two typical anthropogenic landscape…
