• Ecosystems Theme

Cecilia compiles and manages Global Ecosystems Monitoring (GEM) data with a focus on the impact of the recent El Niño event. Her main interests include bottom-up approaches to ecosystem functioning and sustainable farming in the tropics. Particularly, Cecilia has been focusing on the role of decomposer organisms in both pristine and managed ecosystems around the world.
