ALBERTO ROJO ALBORECA

Alberto Rojo Albores is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), affiliated with the Department of Agroforestry Engineering under the Higher Polytechnic School of Engineering. He holds a PhD from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (1994) focusing on Pinus sylvestris growth in the Sierra de Guadarrama.

His research spans sustainable forest management, forest certification systems, biomass dynamics, and climate change impacts on forestry. He leads the UXAFORES research group (Sustainable Environmental and Forest Management Unit) and contributes to the Strategic Grouping in Sustainable Management and Production of Bioresources (BioReDes). Key contributions include developing the EucaTool® app for Eucalyptus globulus plantation management and advancing Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodologies for decision-making in forestry.

Recent work includes analyzing forest certification in Mexico, Brazil, and Spain, evaluating nanoparticulate consolidants for stone conservation, and modeling carbon sequestration in diverse forest systems. His projects often integrate technological tools with ecological principles to address sustainability challenges in agroforestry and environmental management.

He has collaborated on over 100 peer-reviewed articles, focusing on diametric distribution modeling, forest inventory techniques, and socio-economic factors in rural development. Current initiatives emphasize cross-border comparisons of forest governance and climate adaptation strategies in temperate and tropical ecosystems.
