Dr. Carolina Mayoral is a leading researcher in forest ecology and tree physiology, with nearly 8 years of postdoctoral experience at prestigious institutions such as the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the Birmingham Institute of Forest Research. Renowned for contributions to climate change experiments like BIFoR-FACE. Carolina's work has significantly advanced understanding of forest responses to increased CO2 concentrations. Some of her research interests include forest responses to abiotic and biotic stressors, carbon sequestration, tree-tree interactions for forest ecosystem functioning or interplay between carbon and nutrient fluxes and cycling.
