Overview

Emilio Padoa-Schioppa is affiliated with the University of Milano-Bicocca in Italy and specializes in Environmental Science, with a focus on several key subfields including Global and Planetary Change, Ecology, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Atmospheric Science, and Developmental Biology. Their research primarily covers topics related to land use and ecosystem services, animal vocal communication and behavior, noise effects and management, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, wildlife-road interactions and conservation, urban green space and health, and plant water relations and carbon dynamics.

The scientist has contributed extensively to several peer-reviewed journals and publication venues including Sustainability, Ecosystem Services, Journal for Nature Conservation, NOISE-CON proceedings, and Landscape Ecology.

Recent significant publications include:

  • "Evaluation of ecosystem services in a protected mountain area: Soil organic carbon stock and biodiversity in alpine forests and grasslands" (2020, Ecosystem Services)
  • "Integrating landscape ecology and the assessment of ecosystem services in the study of karst areas" (2021, Landscape Ecology)
  • "Editorial: Mountain landscapes: Protected areas, ecosystem services, and future challenges" (2021, Ecosystem Services)
  • "Evaluation of Soil Biodiversity in Alpine Habitats through eDNA Metabarcoding and Relationships with Environmental Features" (2020, Forests)
  • "ReptIslands: Mediterranean islands and the distribution of their reptile fauna" (2022, Global Ecology and Biogeography)

Collaboration is an important component of their work, frequently partnering with researchers such as Claudia Canedoli, Noemi Rota, Chiara Ferré, Davide Abu El Khair, and Roberto Comolli.
