I am a Forest Engineer, master in Forest Engineering and doctor in Vegetal production, all by the University of Santa Catarina State, located in Southern Brazil. During my post graduation, I mainly worked with the vegetative propagation of native species of Brazilian trees from natural areas. Since then, I have focused in the rooting capabilities of vegetative propagules according to their genotypes and/or populations. Currently, I aim to test the seedling adaptability of Araucaria angustifolia against specific climate change factors, such as spaced rainfall and higher temperatures, in order to identify possible superior genotypic sources.
