My research focuses on the study of long term economic and environmental changes in Spain, Europe and Latin America. I have produced over 60 publications, including three books (published by Springer and the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture) and 35 articles in the main Journal Citation Report-indexed journals in my field (18 in Q1), including: Environmental History, Rural History, Agricultural History, Journal of Historical Geography, Historia Agraria, Anthropocene, Ecological Economics, and Science of the Total Environment.
