Sustainable management of the páramo ecosystem in the high Andes lacks evidence-based research on soil-vegetation interactions  and its effects on hydrological and weathering fluxes . Experimental data was collected at multiple spatial scales (from soil horizon to catchment scale) on soil properties, climate, soil hydrology and hydrochemistry.

Large-scale deployment of solar and wind energy is an efficient way to make society less dependent on fossil fuels and reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses.

Lignin is the most abundant source of renewable aromatics on Earth, but its tendency to undergo irreversible condensation reactions during lignocellulose pretreatment hampers its valorization in current biorefinery schemes.

Tropical dry woodlands are rapidly being lost to agricultural expansion, but how deforestation dynamics play out in these woodlands remains poorly understood. Better understanding these deforestation dynamics is critically important to develop strategies towards more sustainable tropical dry woodlands futures.
