Overview

Gerardo Moreno is affiliated with the University of Extremadura in Spain and has a significant research presence in the fields of Environmental Science and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their academic work spans a variety of subfields including Global and Planetary Change, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Plant Science, Ecology, and Forestry.

The main topics of Moreno's research cover several areas related to vegetation and ecosystem dynamics. These include Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics, Remote Sensing in Agriculture, Forest Ecology and Management, Agroforestry and Silvopastoral Systems, Rangeland Management and Livestock Ecology, and Plant Responses to Elevated CO2.

Moreno has frequently published in venues such as Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), the Journal of Cleaner Production, Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment, Agroforestry Systems, and the SSRN Electronic Journal. This diversity indicates participation in both open-access repositories and specialized scientific journals.

Their recent publications provide insight into the scope and focus of their research. Among these are:

Grazing and ecosystem service delivery in global drylands, 2022, Science
Heatwave breaks down the linearity between sun-induced fluorescence and gross primary production, 2021, New Phytologist
Dehesas as high nature value farming systems: a social-ecological synthesis of drivers, pressures, state, impacts, and responses, 2021, Ecology and Society
Using terrestrial laser scanning for characterizing tree structural parameters and their changes under different management in a Mediterranean open woodland, 2021, Forest Ecology and Management
Targeted policy proposals for managing spontaneous forest expansion in the Mediterranean, 2020, Journal of Applied Ecology

Collaboration is a significant aspect of Moreno's work, as reflected by frequent co-authors who have contributed to multiple joint publications. These include Mirco Migliavacca, Víctor Rolo, Arnaud Carrara, Markus Reichstein, and Tarek S. El-Madany.
