Overview

Moreno Di Marco is affiliated with the Sapienza University of Rome in Italy and has a significant presence in the field of environmental science. Their research spans multiple subfields including ecology, global and planetary change, ecological modeling, nature and landscape conservation, and public health related to environmental and occupational health.

The scientist's work addresses several main topics, notably species distribution and climate change, wildlife ecology and conservation, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, land use and ecosystem services, conservation, biodiversity and resource management, zoonotic diseases and public health, and animal disease management and epidemiology.

They have contributed to various recent papers, including:

  • Bending the curve of terrestrial biodiversity needs an integrated strategy (2020, Nature)
  • Areas of global importance for conserving terrestrial biodiversity, carbon and water (2021, Nature Ecology & Evolution)
  • Sustainable development must account for pandemic risk (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • Change in Terrestrial Human Footprint Drives Continued Loss of Intact Ecosystems (2020, One Earth)
  • The minimum land area requiring conservation attention to safeguard biodiversity (2022, Science)

Moreno Di Marco collaborates frequently with several researchers, including Carlo Rondinini, Luca Santini, James Watson, Giordano Mancini, and Stuart H. M. Butchart.

Their most frequent publication venues include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Conservation Biology, Nature, Ecography, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
