Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Peru
He holds a degree in Agronomy from UNHEVAL (1977), a Master's degree in Agricultural Production from UNALM (1988), a Doctorate in Plant Physiology from the Federal University of Viçosa (1994), and a Habilitation (Livre-Docência) from USP (2011). Currently, he is an Associate Professor MS-5 (3) at the University of São Paulo's Ribeirão Preto Campus (USP/RP). His work focuses on Botany, particularly in the field of Plant Physiology. The main themes of his research include:- Ecophysiology of photosynthesis and carbon sequestration.- Plant physiology under abiotic stress, which involves the physiological and biochemical characterization of genetic variability and plant resistance mechanisms to light, water, oxidative, saline, and thermal stress.- Responses of plant physiology to climate change, particularly in future climate simulations. This research aims to elucidate the effects of increased CO2 levels, temperature changes, and water restriction on the physiology and productivity of cultivated plants, pastures, and forest species.He is a pioneer in Brazil in the use of Open Top Chambers (OTC), Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment (FACE), and Temperature Free-Air Controlled Enhancement (T-FACE) systems for studying plant responses in future climate scenarios. Additionally, he serves as an ad hoc consultant for various organizations including FAPESP, CNPq, FAPEMIG, FAPESB, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, and acts as a scientific advisor for several national and international journals. He was the Coordinator of the Biological Sciences Course at USP/RP, leading significant course reformulation efforts. He has also served as President of the Undergraduate Committee for FFCLRP and as a Member of the Undergraduate Council of USP. He is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plant Physiology, the American Society of Plant Biologists, and the International Society of Photosynthesis Research, and he previously held the position of President of the Botanical Society of São Paulo. He has coordinated a thematic project within the FAPESP Research Program on Global Climate Change (PFPMCG) and led a climate change project funded by CNPq/ANA/CAPES. He maintains research collaborations with several Brazilian institutions as well as international partnerships with the University of Illinois (Urbana and Chicago campuses), Columbia University in New York, the United States Department of Agriculture, the University of Barcelona in Spain, the Institute of Biometeorology at the National Research Council in Italy, and The Netherlands Plant Eco-Phenotyping Centre (NPEC) at Wageningen University and Research, in the Netherlands. Currently, he coordinates a FAPESP-PFPMCG project focused on nature-based solutions for mitigating and adapting pastures to climate change through biological nitrogen fixation in grasses. This project involves collaboration with EMBRAPA, UNESP/Jaboticabal, Instituto Federal Goiano/Rio Verde, Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais/SP, and other national and international partners. He is also the Principal Investigator of the FAPESP-PFPMCG-AmazonFACE Thematic Project. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Tropical forests are one of the most important global carbon sinks, compensating a significant fraction of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Understanding what drives their capacity to absorb and store carbon in the future is of utmost importance. In addition to its key relevance for the global carbon and water cycles, biodiversity, and traditional human populations, the Amazon forest i…
This SPRINT proposal will contribute to the ongoing research project funded by FAPESP entitled "Physiological and productive performance of forages Brachiaria brizantha cv Marandu and the hybrid Brachiaria Mavuno inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense and subjected to warming in a future climate simulation" (Process 2022/15021-2) coordinated by Carlos Alberto Martinez y Huaman. In this p…
Climate change and its effects are the biggest environmental challenges we face today. More frequent and more intense extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and heat waves that significantly impact food production are recent evidence of climate change. To face climate change, there are two approaches: Adaptation, developing ways of living with climate change, with adjustments to…
Background, Aims and Methods: Information on the effects of increases in air temperature on tropical systems is lacking. We investigated the effects of a 2 °C temperature increase over ambient air for 30 days on an established tropical pasture (in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil) dominated by the legume Stylosanthes capitata Vogel, using a T-FACE (temperature free-air controlled enhance…

The sixth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently warned of the inevitability of increasing global average temperature. This temperature increase will lead to climate change with direct impacts on countries whose economies are focused on agriculture, such as Brazil. Brazil is one of the world's largest beef producers, producing mainly through pas…
With the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events caused by global climate change, there is an urgent need to adopt mitigation and adaptation measures that allow for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, and adaptation, with measures that allow for the alleviation of the suffering of all living beings impacted by the consequences of events such …

Anthropogenic climate change is one of the most important challenges that humans will face in the next decades. The increase in the atmospheric temperature associated with changes in climate patterns significantly impact livestock production and ecosystems productivity. However, tropical and subtropical ecosystems were less studied when compared to temperate ecosystems. This knowledge gap…
The Industrial Revolution was a landmark in the development of new technologies and of access to new sources of energy. However, from that period was initiated an intense carbon transfer to the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels, causing an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]). According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the increase of [CO2], and …

Anthropogenic activities increased atmospheric CO2 concentration from pre-industrial values of 270 µmol mol-1 to the current 400 µmol mol-1, leading to a continuous increase in the global surface temperature. Climate models indicate that earth surface temperature anomaly may reach values of up to 2ºC until 2100 if Paris Agreement goals were not achieved. These environmental alterations wi…
This study proposes to evaluate the effects of the water soil shortage and increased air temperature on carbon dynamic and water use efficiency of a forage species, Panicum maximum, given that in Brazil it is one of the most important forage species used as livestock fodder. These parameters are very important on the understanding of the climate change effects on this species productivity…
The global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas (GHG) has increased significantly over time as a result of human activities. The increase in CO2 causes several changes in vital processes of plants with C3 and C4 metabolism, such as photosynthesis and respiration. Based on isotopic analysis of carbon and nitrogen plant, soil and air, which allows to investiga…
