Daniel Magnabosco Marra

Daniel Magnabosco Marra is a Brazilian forest ecologist and biogeochemist affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry (Jena, Germany) and National Institute of Amazonian Research (INPA) (Manaus, Brazil). As a Professor at INPA's Tropical Forest Science Program since 2018 and Staff Scientist at Germany's Julius Kühn Institute (2023-present), he studies Amazon forest responses to environmental gradients and extreme weather events through integrated field inventory, remote sensing, and climate data analyses.

His research interests span

• Amazonian forest dynamics
• Windthrow impact assessment
• Carbon cycling under disturbance
• Climate-vegetation interactions
• Ecosystem resilience modeling

with recent publications focusing on turbulence regimes, satellite-based disturbance detection, and post-storm structural recovery across Amazon biomes.

Notable scientific awards include

• Affiliate Membership in the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (2022)
• Doctor Honoris Causa from National University of the Peruvian Amazon (2022)

.

He has supervised 12 PhD/MSc candidates, including ACEVEDO OC, PEIXOTO ASL, and MUÑOZ JDU, while leading projects like INVENTA (2019-present) and ATTO (2017-present) investigating wind-forest interactions and Amazon tall tower observatory data.
