Marine phycology (macroalgae). Florisitic and phytosociological studies of population or phytobenthic communities of the Mediterranean. Biosystematic studies of different taxonomic groups focused on the implementation of the 'Flora Iberica Phycologica. Crops in germination chambers of early stage development of germ cells to give birth. Cytogenetic studies on the quantification of nuclear DNA from marine macroalgae.

Agroecology, plant biodiversity, organic farming plant invasions. Agricultural intensification negatively affects the conservation of natural resources and maintain functions ecosistèmiques (eg soil fertility, pollination and crop protection) of agricultural systems. For this reason, it is essential to develop sustainable management methods that reduce environmental stress associated with agricultural activities and promote the proper functioning of agricultural systems. The team working on the analysis of the functioning of agricultural systems and the design of sustainable management models in order to provide scientific and technical knowledge that allows farmers to better manage and evaluate these improvements by using of sustainability indicators easy to understand and use.

I work in eco-epidemiological research that allow knowing which are the reservoirs, the vector species and the key factors driving the spread of viruses. These factors are very important in order to find preventive measures that reduce the risk of transmission to the human population, livestock and pets. The emergence of a viral epidemic depends on the dynamics of the virus, which in turn will be influenced by reservoir dynamic and external environmental factors such as temperature, rainfall, degree of habitat conservation, the situation of stress affecting the reservoir species.
