I am a PhD student at the Instituto de Ecología Regional (UNT-CONICET) in Argentina. I study counterurbanization as a pathway of forest transition and the impact of this process on the composition of new forests (introduction of exotic species) and ecosystem services.
Themes
Land change trade-offs for ecosystem services and biodiversity , Urban-rural interactions
A new article in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change hypothesized that peri-urban forest transitions are driven by processes associated with urban-based economies and functioning, which define spatial characteristics of new forests.
A new article in Ambio looks at new patterns of reforestation through counterurbanization and looks at how this pathway could have a growing global effect.
