Work experience
Project experience (advisory or participant) _x000D_
Over the past 20 years he has led research teams working on agricultural and forest related topics including: impact of elevated CO2 concentration and rising temperature on the physiology and growth of agricultural and forest ecosystems; physiological basis of salt tolerance; plant growth and water use efficiency along desertification gradient; optimization of water use by native plants in arid lands facing global change and desertification; climate proof" plants: combating desertification through innovative agricultural practices; multiple roles of biodiversity in biogeochemical cycles to comply with the Kyoto protocol. He has taught a variety of university courses at the University of Molise (Italy), Chinese Academy of Forestry (China), International Training Schools for early stage Researchers, supervisor of PhD and Postdoc students, many from overseas. He has a strong experience in the organization of events and transfer of knowledge activities.
