Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Marco A. Yáñez's research focuses on the ecophysiology and potential uses of plant species, particularly in the context of environmental challenges. His work investigates the effects of environmental factors, such as soil matric potential and water availability, on plant germination and growth. Yáñez has published research on the long-term impacts of copper mine tailings on surrounding soils and vegetation, as well as the potential of various tree species, including *Pinus radiata*, *Eucalyptus globulus*, and *Acacia dealbata*, for the phytostabilization of these contaminated sites. Additionally, his studies have explored the growth and survival of endangered species under drought-prone conditions and the phenotypic variation in plant traits among different populations. His research network includes collaborators such as Pradip Saud, Sagar Godar Chhetri, Chioma Edwina Ogbuka, and Matthew H. Pelkki from the University of Arkansas at Monticello.
