The guiding thread of my research career has been related to soil pollution evaluation and remediation (soil biogeochemistry; environmental soil management; soil ecotoxicity and climate change).
I obtained my PhD (2012) from the Technical Univ. Cartagena-Spain ¿UPCT¿ on the biogeochemistry of N, P and metals in soil-water-plant systems of eutrophic and polluted wetlands. I tested the capacity of these systems as sink/source of these elements and the effects of the binomial plant vs. soil amendment on pollutants mobilization risks and appropriate remediation measures. I made two predoctoral stays (2+2 months; ETH Zurich- Switzerland; Univ. Lisbon-Portugal). My PhD allowed me to acquire a broad and applied vision of degradation problems in metal-polluted and eutrophic environments and led me to become interested in the field of soil ecotoxicology to link the biogeochemical issues with the toxic effects of pollutants.
In 2013 I got the Ramón Areces Postdoctoral Fellowship to work in the field of global change ecotoxicology at the VU Univ. Amsterdam-Holland (10/13-09/15). I opened a pioneer line focused on the effects of rising air temperature and soil dryness on the ecotoxicity of soils affected by metal mine wastes from SE Spain, using soil invertebrates as bioindicators. From 10/15 to 06/16 I continued working at the VU to set up a research network established between VU and UPCT. Based on the knowledge I acquired, I concluded that the ecotoxicity risks of metal-polluted soils may change depending on the prevailing climate conditions and that soil ecotoxicology must consider the emergent suite of stressors driven by climate change.
In 2016 I got the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship and in 2017 I moved to the Univ. Aveiro-Portugal ¿UA¿ to lead a project on the effects of single/multiple climate factors (air temperature, soil moisture, atmospheric CO2, UV radiation) on the ecotoxicity of metal-polluted agricultural/forest soils from central-northern Portugal (01/17-01/19). I evaluated the effects on soil invertebrates through population performance indicators but also the damage at genetic and biochemical level. In 2018 I got two R&D projects as Principal Investigator at the UA to deepen in the effects of climate change on the ecotoxicity/functionality of anthropogenic metal-polluted soils from temperate regions: METOXCLIM (project from Portuguese National Plan; 06/18-05/21); MICROCLIM (project from French CNRS/INEE-OHMI; 07/18-06/19). With these projects I started working with the soil microbial component looking at the effects of climate factors on its structure and functions. I was hired as researcher by METOXCLIM project for 14 months (03/19-05/20).
In June 2020 I returned to the UPCT with a Saavedra Fajardo Research Contract (Séneca Foundation of Murcia-Spain) to study the ecotoxicity of soils affected by metal pollution from the Murcia Region under forecasted climate change scenarios (06/20-05/23). RecentIy, I have been awarded with a 5-year Ramón y Cajal Research Contract (Ministry of Science and Innovation-Spain) to study how future climate scenarios will impact the ecotoxicity and functionality of terrestrial ecosystems degraded by anthropogenic pollution from the Mediterranean region, by using soil invertebrates, microorganisms, and plants as bioindicators of possible alterations.
