Biography

Camila is a biologist with a master’s degree at Universidad de Chile; she is currently doing her PhD thesis in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program at Universidad Austral de Chile. Her research is about plant and soil interactions, soil communities in forests, and how anthropogenic development has impacted this ecosystem. She has studied soil biodiversity associated with the forestry industry in southern Chile, and now she is studying how high-severity wildfires -which are a relatively new phenomenon in Chile- are affecting the soil ecosystem in endangered native forests.
