Research interests

Current research activities are mainly related with floristic and synecological studies of plant communities, as well as flora and vegetation cartography. These encompass the following main subjects:

 

a) Floristic and chorological studies, mainly on menaced flora;

b) Plant community studies, namely the description of natural and semi natural plant communities, its sucessional relations and ecological preferences, as well as applied vegetation cartography studies;

c) Landscape scale studies on vegetation diversity and its evaluation for conservation purposes;

d) Bioclimate, Biogeographical and Natural Potential Vegetation modelling.
