    Rosvel Bracho

    Associate Research Scientist, Forest Carbon, Nutrient and Water Dynamics

    Rosvel joined FFGS in January 2018 as an Associate Research Scientist in Forest Carbon, Nutrient & Water Dynamics. He previously worked as Postdoctoral Associate at the SFFGS doing research on carbon and water dynamics in a range of ecosystems from tropical to subarctic ecosystems. His current research focuses on using biometric and eddy covariance approaches to better understand how climatic variability and management affect ecosystems carbon balance, water, and nutrients cycling.
