RNM923 Fire, Ecology and Biodiversity in Mediterranean Ecosystems
Our research lines focus on key aspects of the ecology, biogeography and biodiversity of plants in Mediterranean-type terrestrial ecosystems, including their relationships with disturbance factors (e.g. fire), and the interactions with other organisms (e.g. insects, vertebrates, soil microbiome). We pay special interest to functional ecological processes, such as regeneration after severe disturbance (e.g. fire, drought) and nutrient dynamics in the soil-water-air system.
