  • Ecology and vegetation dynamics studies
  • Species distribution and climate change
  • Plant and animal studies
  • Wildlife ecology and conservation
  • Animal ecology and behavior studies
  • Land use and ecosystem services
  • Plant parasitism and resistance

Carmona has coauthored numerous publications with researchers such as Francesco de Bello, Lars Götzenberger, Meelis Pärtel, André T. C. Dias, and Marco Moretti. These collaborations highlight engagement with a network of scholars active in ecological and environmental research.

Their research has been published frequently in several scientific journals, with the most publications found in:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Nature Communications
  • Ecology Letters
  • Nature
  • Global Ecology and Biogeography

Key recent papers authored by Carmona include:

  • "Fine-root traits in the global spectrum of plant form and function" (2021, Nature)
  • "Erosion of global functional diversity across the tree of life" (2021, Science Advances)

Carmona has contributed to book publications such as the Handbook of Trait-Based Ecology: From Theory to R Tools published by the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology and another edition titled Handbook of Trait-Based Ecology by Cambridge University Press, both released in 2021.

This body of work reflects a sustained focus on the study of trait-based ecology and functional diversity in ecological systems. Carmona's research outputs span the investigation of ecological traits at multiple scales and their implications for plant communities and biodiversity.
