José-Antonio Bonet, PhD in Forest Engineering is Full Professor at the University of Lleida (UdL, Spain). He is also associate researcher and Director of the Centre of Research in Agrotecnology (Agrotecnio, Spain). He is acknowledged as one of the leading European scientists in the field of mycology having participated in more than 50 national and international research and knowledge transfer projects, including large collaborative EU-funded FP6, FP7 and H2020 projects. At present, he is involved in different interdisciplinary international and national research projects (either as main coordinator, work package leader or researcher) aiming at unravelling the relationships between forest management and fungal diversity and productivity based on new-generation DNA sequencing methods, advanced modelling techniques and multi-scale approaches. As a result of his research activity, he has produced more than 100 publications including peer-reviewed international publications, books and book chapters, mainly dealing with above- and belowground fungal dynamics and forest management.
