| 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:
Co-ordination of LIFE ECOQUARRY project, on quarry restoration.
2004-2007.
PI of the National Funding Agency project: Evaluation of ecological
restoration technologies in the Mediterranean. National Programme
on Biodiversity, Earth Sciences and Global Change– MEC, 2004-2005.
Co-ordination of EC project: Restoration actions to combat desertification
in the Northern Mediterranean (REACTION). European Comission, programme
"Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development", 2003-
2005.
PI of EC project: Conservation and restoration of European cork
oak woodlands (CREOAK). European Comission, 1/11/02 to 30/6/2006.
PI of EC project: Euro-Mediterranean wildland fire laboratory, a
wall-less laboratory for wildland fire sciences and technologies
in the Mediterranean region (EUFIRELAB). 1/11/02 to 31/10/2006.
