Soil science Sustainable agriculture Carbon sequestration

Biography

Agricultural Engineer from the Universidad de La Frontera and PhD from the same university. In 2013 he was awarded the FONDECYT postdoctoral fellowship on carbon stabilization capacity in soils with different production systems. In 2016 and 2017 he worked on two projects on the effect of biochar on soil microbial communities and a second project that investigated the effect of biochar on soil microbial communities application on colonization and mycorrhization in wheat plants in wheat plants. In 2018, he joined INIA with a project that evaluates the
incorporation of stubble and its effect on soil microbial communities. He is currently responsible for the INIA research core project on the use of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria with the purpose of reducing the dose of fertilizers, and a second project investigating the effect of the phosphorus dosage on the Rhizobium-sheep symbiosis.
