Research interests:
Fire effects on vegetation and soils fertility. Study of the spatio-temporal interactions between landscape structure and fires. Integration of geoinformation technologies (remote sensing, geographical information systems) with fire modeling for designing forest management and restoration strategies for Mediterranean forests.
Current research projects:
- Monitoring post-fire vegetation dynamics in fire-affected Mediterranean ecosystems to support the spatial design of restoration and mitigation measures at the landscape level (POSTFIRE) (DE2009-0079).
