Valeria is a Publishing Editor for Forestry and Biodiversity at Springer since 2010. Vale did her PhD in Agriculture at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa (IT) and the postdoc in soil diversity at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam (NL). In her free time, she reads books, watches intellectual movies, listens to punk, and plans to become a writer…but she is the mother of a 2.5 years old boy so a glass of wine and some TV just work as fine!
