Hey there! It's me, Layla.
Currently, my research interests focus on a better understanding of soil organic matter dynamics in representative Mediterranean soils from Southern Spain, with special emphasis from natural and managed ecosystems including forest, dehesas and agricultural systems under different management strategies.
This thesis is funded by a FPI contract from the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, ref. FPI2017/079811.
