CROP MODELING, MICROMETEOROLOGY
I investigate the radiation and carbon balance of tree canopies (olive, oak, walnut, citrus, etc.) and their application in productivity and water use models. These models serve as tools for management and analysis of the impact of environmental change on the functioning of agricultural systems in Andalusia. In addition, I am working on the development of new technologies for the measurement of water and carbon fluxes at tree level (sap flow quantification) and canopy level (vortex covariance).
