Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Marco A. Yáñez's research focuses on plant physiology, genetics, and environmental science, with a particular emphasis on forestry and tree cultivation. His work investigates factors influencing tree growth, such as genetic variation, silvicultural intensity, and environmental conditions. Yáñez has studied the growth and stem quality responses of loblolly pine clones to fertilizer application and the early growth responses of different loblolly pine varieties to silvicultural intensity. He has also examined genetic variation in wood density components in radiata pine and the genetic variation and growth stability of hybrid poplars in short-rotation coppice stands in Chile.

Further research by Yáñez explores environmental impacts, including the association between epiphytic lichen diversity and air particulate matter levels in urban areas of Chile. He has also analyzed urban airborne matter, considering the effects of meteorological conditions on fine and coarse particulate matter. His work includes evaluating models to determine leaf area index (LAI) on poplar stands using satellite imagery.
