Instituto de Botânica (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Biologist graduated in University of São Paulo (Licectiate and Bachelor's degree), Master's degree in Botany Department of Biosciences Institute of USP. As his main interests are Physiology and Ecophysiology of superior plants. Studies plant morphological and biochemical adaption to abiotic stress survival. Participated in research projects related to global climate changes, as well as investigated the crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in epiphyte species. Currently, he aims to investigate how a human-disturbance gradient may affect leaf venation traits and its possible physiological effects on plant productivity and water relations in tree species of the Atlantic Forest.

Works concerning tropical forests have improved knowledge about their role in worldwide biodiversity conservancy and source of environmental services essential to human life. In this context, Atlantic Forest (AF) has a remarkable importance in Brazil. The forest is considered one of the 5 major global hotspots. Located near the largest national urban centers, it provides environmental ser…
Guzmania monostachia is a species of heteroblastic bromeliad, in other words, whereas in the juvenile phase, it assumes the atmospheric form, in the adult, it acquires a structure called a tank, by which water and nutrients can be stored in moments of sporadic drought. It is also recognized through being C3-CAM facultative, thus inducible to CAM through environmental stimuli, such as the …
It is currently accepted that CO2 is the main gas which causes global warming, his effect being thought to be a consequence of human activities. The rise in CO2 concentration has several effects on plants. Among these is increasing photosynthetic capacity which not only improves the internal flux of carbon, but it also provokes anatomical changes. At the ultrastructural level, chloroplast…
