Professional summary
Fabrizio is interested in assessing the extent to which greenhouse gas removal strategies and renewable energy developments contribute to the mitigation of GHG emissions across natural and semi-natural landscapes (forestry, peatland/wetland, grassland), and how agroecosystems can be transformed to be more sustainable and resilient to climate change.
His work encompasses multidisciplinary approaches and cross-sectoral analysis using biogeochemical process-based models (APSIM, RothC, ECOSSE), statistical modelling (Generalized Additive Mixed Models), participatory methods, and multi-criteria decision-methods (Analytic Hierarchical Process, Analytic Network Process, DEMATEL).
