I am a Plant Physiologist, interested on the application of stable isotopes (d13C, d18O and d5N) in plant phenotyping and forest ecophysiology, paying special attention to plant responses against drought. I am also working on palaeoenvironmental studies based on the analysis of stable isotopes in archaeological plant remains, including cereal grains and wood charcoal.
My research at a glance
Study of plant's response to drought stress, including plant hydraulics, photosynthesis, and the interaction between carbon and water balance.
Investigation of plant water sources, mechanisms of water uptake, genetic variability and ecological interactions in the use of water resources.
Reconstruction of climate and crop growing conditions in the beginnings of agriculture, in the Near East and the Iberian Peninsula.
Application of ecophysiological tools to characterize genetic variability in water use and water use efficiency, for crops and forest species.
