María Trinidad Torres García
My research interests focus on the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and their relationship to biodiversity and ecosystem services. I am currently working on identifying forest management strategies that ensure biodiversity conservation, ecosystem service provision, and adaptation to climate change in Swedish forests.
