César Terrer

César Terrer is the TianFu Group Career Development Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on Earth system challenges and climate change, utilizing satellite and field data to assess terrestrial ecosystems, carbon dynamics, and climate solutions. Terrer's work explores plant-soil interactions and their role in carbon storage under changing environmental conditions. His research aims to improve ecological understanding of carbon dynamics and enhance climate models by addressing uncertainties. Terrer's research interests include carbon ecology and data-driven strategies to maximize carbon uptake in terrestrial ecosystems.

César Terrer is a researcher at MIT specializing in Climate Change, Ecosystem Ecology, and Plant Eco-physiology. His work explores the interactions between atmospheric CO2 levels, plant growth, and soil carbon dynamics. Terrer's research focuses on understanding how elevated CO2 influences terrestrial carbon sinks, nitrogen and phosphorus limitations, and the role of mycorrhizal associations in carbon storage. His studies integrate global patterns of plant biomass, soil carbon sequestration, and the impacts of land use changes on carbon stocks. By examining the ecological and biogeochemical processes driving these phenomena, Terrer contributes to climate change mitigation strategies and ecosystem management.
