Overview

Emilia Gutiérrez is affiliated with the University of Barcelona in Spain and specializes in Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences. Their research encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, including tree-ring climate responses, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, climate variability and models, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, forest ecology and management, geology and paleoclimatology research, and fire effects on ecosystems.

The scientist has contributed to various high-impact publications, with frequent appearances in specific venues. These include The Science of The Total Environment, Journal of Ecology, Dendrochronologia, Forests, and SSRN Electronic Journal. Their study topics align closely with the fields of global and planetary change, atmospheric science, nature and landscape conservation, plant science, and mechanical engineering.

Some of the recent papers associated with their research include:

  • Drought legacies are short, prevail in dry conifer forests and depend on growth variability (2020, Journal of Ecology)
  • Global fading of the temperature-growth coupling at alpine and polar treelines (2021, Global Change Biology)
  • Recent human-induced atmospheric drying across Europe unprecedented in the last 400 years (2023, Nature Geoscience)
  • Forest resilience to global warming is strongly modulated by local-scale topographic, microclimatic and biotic conditions (2021, Journal of Ecology)
  • Seasonal precipitation and continentality drive bimodal growth in Mediterranean forests (2023, Dendrochronologia)

Emilia's frequent collaborators include J. Julio Camarero, Raúl Sánchez-Salguero, Antonio Gazol, Montse Ribas, and Isabel Dorado-Liñán.

The scientist has also contributed to book publications, notably a title published by Universidad de Guadalajara eBooks: Neurocovid. Efectos de la covid-19 en el sistema nervioso (2022).
