Researcher
Omar Flores
- Research Expertise:I'm expert in global change ecology, studying how changes in environment affect processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Particularly, during my PhD I studied carbon biogeochemical cycle in drylands, focusing on litter decomposition processes and soil dynamics. My main research fiel is ecological modelling, developing models (i.e. informatic tools) to predict ecosystem responses to global change.
- Keywords:GLOBAL CHANGE, ECOLOGICAL MODELLING, Biology
- Disciplines:Development of bioinformatics software, tools and databases, Soil ecology, Terrestrial ecology, Carbon sequestration science
- Research techniques:Techniques of measurement of leaf litter chemical composition, experimental design for measure litter decomposition with the litterbags technique, statistical analysis with R, and programming in Python.
- Users of research expertise:Other researchers that can use models to make predictions for the potential future responses and impacts on the ecosystems on their own region.
