Overview

Jesús Pozo is affiliated with the University of the Basque Country in Spain and specializes in environmental science, with a focus on ecology, nature and landscape conservation, environmental chemistry, insect science, and economics and econometrics. Their research primarily addresses freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and ecology, soil and water nutrient dynamics, fish ecology and management studies, forest ecology and biodiversity studies, hydrology and sediment transport processes, historical and socio-economic studies of Spain and related regions, and ecology and vegetation dynamics studies.

Their recent publications reveal a strong interest in the processes affecting ecosystems and biodiversity, especially in aquatic environments. Key papers include:

  • Latitude dictates plant diversity effects on instream decomposition, 2021, Science Advances
  • Shifts in Key Leaf Litter Traits Can Predict Effects of Plant Diversity Loss on Decomposition in Streams, 2020, Ecosystems
  • Global Patterns and Controls of Nutrient Immobilization on Decomposing Cellulose in Riverine Ecosystems, 2022, Global Biogeochemical Cycles
  • Temperature Sensitivity of Microbial Litter Decomposition in Freshwaters: Role of Leaf Litter Quality and Environmental Characteristics, 2022, Microbial Ecology
  • Effects of two measures of riparian plant biodiversity on litter decomposition and associated processes in stream microcosms, 2020, Scientific Reports

Jesús Pozo collaborates frequently with several researchers, including Ana Basaguren, Luz Boyero, Javier Pérez, Aitor Larrañaga, and Naiara López-Rojo. These partnerships have contributed to advancing understanding in their fields of study.

Their work has been published in notable venues such as Science Advances, Ecosystems, Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Microbial Ecology, and The Science of The Total Environment, indicating engagement with interdisciplinary environmental research communities.
