Curriculum

Prof. Paolo De Angelis, PhD, is Full Professor at the University of Tuscia. He is the scientific responsible of the Lab. “Forest Ecophysiology & Environmental Phytotechnologies”, at the Department for Innovation in Biological, Agro-food and Forest systems (DIBAF) of the University of Tuscia. The research activities, in the scientific area of the Ecophysiology of woody plant, have been focused since the early 90’s on the study of the impacts of climate changes (temperature, drought, elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration) and pollutants on trees, forests and shrubland. Another sector of research is the study of the functional responses of trees and forest to the microclimatic and structural changes induced by the silvicultural management. The research activities are conducted mainly in-situ, by the realization of large-scale manipulation facilities. The scientific methodologies used to conduct the research, spans from the analysis of leaf and community gas-exchanges to the analysis of soil-plant-atmosphere water relations; from the analysis of tree growth to the ecosystem productivity and carbon cycle. He participated to several European Research Projects since the 80’s. In the sector of Environmental Phytotechnologies, he coordinates designs, tests and pilot solutions for the application of phytoremediation to specific polluted sites and for different matrix: soil, water, sediment. He is also one of the promoters of the National Workshops on Phytoremediation: REMIDA & RECONNET initiatives, RemTech annual exhibition and event. The applications of phytotechnologies are not limited to the remediation of polluted sites, but also to avoid new contamination integrating plant processes to the industrial activities or to civil infrastructures (green infrastructure) in urban areas. Until now he published 148 papers on international and national scientific journal and books, and 128 abstracts on international and national congress proceedings. The cumulative number of citations of the 87 publications included in the database “Scopus” is 7’060 and the h-index based on the same database is 38 (September 2023).
