Post-fire dynamics
Post-fire dynamics

Brief summary:
We study the main factors that drive the response of forest communities to fire. Our research focuses on Mediterranean forests dominated by pine species (both serotinous and non-serotinous) and we evaluate the resilience of these systems at various organizational levels and accros different spatial and temporal scales. We are particularly interested in understanding how land-use legacies and climate warming affect the capacity of Mediterranean forests to recover and persist in the current context of increasing disturbance frequency and intensity.
