During my three academic years, I focused on the effects of N fertilization on growth and function
of plants and forest stands. The study had the dual objective of estimating the effects of atmospheric
N deposition and evaluating the potential management value of N fertilization itself. In particular,
the analysis took into account the changes induced in water use and intrinsic transpiration efficiency
(ITE), an aspect often overlooked in world literature but of great importance especially in
Mediterranean environment, where the positive effects of N fertilization may be denied by the
parallel increased transpiration and exacerbated water stress.
