Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus de Rio Claro. Instituto de Biociências (IB) (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
B.Sc in Biology at the Universidade de São Paulo (1999), M.Sc. in Ecology at the Technische Universität München (2004) and PhD at the Technische Universität München (Dr. rer. nat. 2008). I was a post-doc researcher from 2009 - 2011 at the Universidade de São Paulo and in 2010 at the Universidad de Alicante. At the moment, I am professor at the Department of Botany at the UNESP Rio Claro (São Paulo). Experience in ecology, mostly in vegetation ecology, fire ecology, population biology, community ecology, above- and belowground biomass and carbon dynamics, effects of disturbance, grassland dynamics and plant functional types.

A large number of highly damaging invasive non-native species(INNS) have become established in South America. They affect native species, ecosystems and livelihoods.Many INNS are now so widespread that eradication is not an option. Their spread must be contained and their density reduced, in the long-term, in those areas where taking no action is not acceptable. This must be done as cost …
Wildfires are a global phenomenon affecting many ecosystems and together with climate change shapes their vegetation and cause damage to property and livelihoods. Germination from seed after fire is a global phenomenon. It has evolved multiple times, is widespread across the phylogenetic tree, can be associated with distinct seed dormancy mechanisms, and its ecology has been well studied …
This proposal aims to study the effects of fire season on campo sujo areas in different regions of Brazil: Goiás, Tocantins and São Paulo. Therefore, this project aims to establish permanent experiment plots for long-term studies, where the fire behavior will be determined in the different seasons (beginning, middle and end of the dry season). Although the results of this project will be …
Fire regime drives plant responses and plant traits in fire-prone environments. Besides, altering any component of fire regime, such as fire frequency, could lead to changing plant response, diversity, and community dynamics. Hence, we aim to evaluate how fire affects plant traits in a tropical Savanna. For that, we will focus on four main points: i) Evaluate the Intra and interspecific v…
Millions of hectares of old-growth savannas are being legally converted into pastures for beef production on rural properties in the Brazilian Cerrado. In order to minimize the loss of biodiversity resulting from this process, scientists and decision makers have pointed the need to prioritize livestock production systems that have a low impact on biodiversity. However, there is scarce inf…
In the Cerrado, one of the abiotic factors that influence plant phenology is fire, which is a natural disorder that interferes with different ecosystems in the world. Fire changes habitat conditions and can affect flowering, fruiting, seed attributes and germination. Smoke also plays an active role in seed germination and seedling growth. Therefore, this project aims to understand the eff…

In savannas and campestre formations, fire exerts an important function as a limiting factor due to the presence of a dense gramineous stratum that acts as a flammable material for the beginning and continuity of fires. Thus, the plants inserted in these ecosystems were selected through their functional attributes to survive the stress caused by fire. The protection of the aerial buds is …

Savannas are defined by the coexistence of grassy and woody species. The properties of the grass layer impact hugely the ecosystem functioning in Savanna, determining for example its flammability. A wide diversity of physiognomies is found in the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna), with varying C4 grass and woody layers resulting in contrasted fire regimes. This particularity is responsible for …
Savannas are biomes covering around 20% of the global area, mostly tropical, where one-fifth of the world population live and get their resources from and are characterized by high herbaceous species richness and endemism, and unique species composition, where several species, in order to survive to fires and grazing, have developed specialized underground structures that enable them to r…
Fire has been a major agent of disturbance in many ecosystems for millions of years. In flammable ecosystems, fire is important for maintaining vegetation structure, and community diversity and composition. Fire is particularly important in maintaining vegetation structure and biodiversity in tropical savannas, which are responsible for 30% of primary productivity globally. Savanna plant …
