Researcher

Matteo Campioli

  • Research Expertise:My research aims to understand how terrestrial ecosystems function, especially to improve the ecosystem models used to simulate climate change. My expertise is strong for temperate deciduous forests and heath tundra. The ecosystem processes I study are primarily: plant growth, phenology (the seasonal plant life events), biomass production, plant-nutrient interactions and ecosystem-atmosphere CO2 exchange. I work at annual and seasonal scale, with a special emphasis on autumn processes. I study both the aboveground and belowground components of the ecosystem, but particularly leaves and stem. The organisms I focus are mainly trees and shrubs.
