Daniel E. Pabon Moreno

Dr. Daniel E. Pabon Moreno is a Researcher in the Biogeochemical Integration Department at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, affiliated with the Ecosystem Function from Earth Observation project group and the Global diagnostic models research group. His work focuses on understanding terrestrial ecosystem dynamics through Earth observation technologies, including satellite remote sensing and biodiversity monitoring systems. He explores topics such as deforestation impacts, climate-driven vegetation vulnerability, land cover effects on local climate, and functional diversity assessments using Sentinel-2 and other observational frameworks.

His research emphasizes linking ecological processes with large-scale environmental drivers, particularly in tropical regions. Key contributions include the development of the Biodiversity Observing System Simulation Experiment (BOSSE) and analysis of ecosystem resistance under climate extremes. His work also addresses practical applications like early stress detection in vegetation and policy-relevant insights for biodiversity conservation, especially in Colombia.

Publications highlight methodological advancements in phenology studies, GPP estimation, and circular statistics applications in ecology. While no scientific awards are explicitly noted, his peer-reviewed contributions demonstrate significant scholarly impact. He collaborates within interdisciplinary teams at the MPG and maintains a lab space (C3.007).
