My research focuses on the structure and functioning of continental aquatic ecosystems, including transitional environments, with a specific emphasis on biogeochemical cycles and phytoplankton. My primary line of research involves the study of eutrophication processes, analyzing their direct and indirect negative impacts on aquatic ecosystem functions and the resulting implications for ecosystem goods and services. A significant portion of my research adopts an ecosystem-based approach, integrating the study of aquatic environments with watershed planning and management. Furthermore, my work extends to the development of ecological indicators, the use of modelling (coupling watershed and water body data) to evaluate processes and functions, and the implementation of automated in situ monitoring systems.
