| Research: |
Soil-plant relationships, Forest restoration,
Forest fires, Soil organic matter, Radionuclides transfer in
the soil-plant system |
Research interests:
Soil-plant relationships under characteristic disturbances in the
Mediterranean, such as forest fires and desertification processes,
and under catastrophic soil contamination events (e.g. Chernobyl
NPP accident). From this basic research, development of ecological
restoration strategies and techniques.
Current research projects:
