Dr. I.M.C. (ORCiD profile) is currently a tenured scientist at the Spanish National Serearch Council CSIC (Spain). She has extensive experience in developping and programming dynamic vegetation models, and has actively participated building out some cutting edge land models such as the LM4 of the NOAA in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics lamoratory (Princeton, US) or the ORCHIDEE Land Surface Modle of the CNRS-Insitut Pierre Simon Laplace (Paris, France). She will be advising on the development of the wp1, the RooMoHR_ model programming.
Dr. R.M.G (ORCiD profile) is a physicist with a multidisciplinary approach to ecological sciences currently appointed as a junios professor at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf HZDR (Dresden, Germany). One of his most proliferous lines of research are mathematical models and remote-sensed vegetation spatial data analysis to understand the mechanisms of self-generated vegetation regular patterns in drylands. He will provide advise on the theory of vegetation spatial data analyses and the theoretical modeling of plant dynamic mechanisms.
Dr. M.S. (ORCiD profile) is a professor of plant evolutionary ecology at the University of Tartu (Tartu, Estonia). A significant part of her research focuses on belowground ecology, root foraging strategies, adn plant and soil interactions from an expreimental approach. She is currently the principal investigator of an ERC Consolidator Grant 2022, working on plant evolutionary responses to water stress in grasslands and its consecuences for biodiversity and agriculture. She will collaborate monitoring and giving advise on the development of the wp2 TuRING and help resolve possible unexpected issues with the experiment.
Dr. A.E. (ORCiD profile) is a researcher and senior professor based at the host insitution, the Global Change Research Insitute IICG-URJC (Móstoles, Spain) who has years of experience working as an ecologist. His work tackles important topics such as conservation biology and community ecology, and he has led many empirical research project to investigate the biology od vegetation in stressfull habitats with low primary productivity establishing a global network of collaborations. As a host-institution adviser, he will provide help and advise with the whole project development, with special attention to the wp3 MAPA global field work.
