In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

His main research concerns Ecology, Productivity, Climate change, Resistance and Global warming. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Water balance and Radial growth. His Productivity study incorporates themes from Tree species and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.

His Climate change research incorporates elements of Adaptation, Physical geography and Vegetation. His work deals with themes such as Extreme events, Scots pine and Growing season, which intersect with Resistance. The various areas that he examines in his Global warming study include North Atlantic oscillation, Mediterranean climate, Spatial heterogeneity and Species distribution.
