I am an Associate Professor of Tropical Forestry at the Department of Forest Sciences, ?Luiz de Queiroz? College of Agriculture, University of São Paulo (ESALQ / USP), where I coordinate the Laboratory of Tropical Forestry (LASTROP). I?m currently the vice-coordinator of the Atlantic Forest Restoration Pact and am an affiliated member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (2021-2025). I have a degree in Agronomy and a PhD in Sciences from ESALQ /USP. My research and outreach projects aim to develop knowledge and technology to manage and restore tropical forests in an economically viable way and with social inclusion, aiming at balancing the coexistence of these forests with agro-pastoral land uses in human-modified landscapes. I have sought to develop innovative models of forest restoration and commercial production of native species to promote the large-scale recovery of degraded areas and maximize the benefits for biodiversity and human well-being. In 2018 I received the Bunge Award, on Ecosystem Services for Agribusiness. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Forest restoration and afforestation with native tree species has therefore recently received a wide international attention as a crucial opportunity for mitigating climate change (CC). Yet, the ongoing increase in biotic and abiotic stress driven by CC puts forests under threat. In the face of CC, adaptation and mitigation by forests are ultimately linked, because the ability of forests …
Restoration methods, policies, and supportive market and legal instruments have been developed to promote large-scale restoration in the Atlantic Forest region. To shift the scale of restoration from few thousands to millions of hectares a novel approach is needed. This project aims to explore the potential of restored forests for benefiting people and nature in the Atlantic Forest hotspo…
The digital transformation is still little consolidated in Brazilian society. Improvements in performance and differentiation resulting of such transformation have not yet been fully absorbed in companies and in the public administration. In general, solutions required for implementing the digital transformation in cities and in manufacturing processes combine advanced connectivity and au…
Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) has been considered as a primary source to model the structure and function of a forest canopy through the indicators leaf area index (LAI) and vertical canopy profiles of leaf area density (LAD). However, little is known about the effects of the laser pulse density and the grain size (horizontal binning resolution) of the laser point cloud on the estimation …
Ecological restoration has been considered one of the main strategies for combining conservation and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural production in Brazil, although there are still many bottlenecks in that area. In this research proposal, we designed five sections to investigate the challenges for forest restoration in highly-modified landscapes, with the…
Riparian areas currently concentrate most of the efforts of forest restoration in Brazil. Since there are no laws regulating the use of pesticides in these areas, the dilemma to use or not herbicides in riparian forest restoration is present in most projects, especially in those based on Payments for Ecosystem Services schemes regarding the recovery of native vegetation in watersheds of i…

To recover ecosystem services, provide climate change mitigation, and ensure food security and protection of water sources, several law projects and international pledges were established with audacious goals of restoring forests on a broad scale. The use of images from different remote sensors, in different spatial, spectral and temporal scales, is of paramount importance for the plannin…
Recent advances describing spatial patterns of tropical forest regeneration include the influence of landscape structure among the main drivers of forest recovery. These advances have been achieved by evaluating the relative frequency of conditions under which natural forests took place in areas previously classified as anthropogenic fields. However, there is sound evidence describing sec…

The accountability of ambitious forest and landscape restoration pledges rely on the development of cost-effective methods for characterizing and monitoring undergoing restoration. New remote sensing tools, such as lidar and hyperspectral sensors, have demonstrated great potential for achieving these goals, yet the estimation of tree demography and diversity by these technologies is still…
Many studies use small footprint LiDAR technology to estimate canopy structure variables,such as forest height, leaf area vertical profiles and biomass stocks, for use in ecologicalmonitoring and modeling. Thus, it is critical to develop universal approaches to estimate theseforest structural parameters from LiDAR to allow comparison among LiDAR devices, surveysconducted under different c…
In highly deforested agricultural landscapes, second-growth forests are important biodiversity refuges for native species. Similarly, tree plantations may house many native species and provide important environmental services, while providing resources for landowners. Using historical maps to identify second-growth forests with ages from 7-53 years in agricultural landscapes of the Atlant…
