Barcelona Area, Spain

Funded by MICINN - Secretariat of state for research, development and innovation (Ref.: AGL 2011-24296)I conducted research on the response of ecologically contrasted Iberian pines to drought stress, low temperatures and a combination of the two.Funded by MICINN - Secretariat of state for research, development and innovation (Ref.: AGL 2010-21012)Another field of research was the study of Ecohydrological relationships in agroforest interphases: the role of water and carbon regulationDuring this period I also coordinated the work of a PhD student from Italy who was attending her period of training abroad in my Research Centre.

Barcelona Area, Spain

Funded by MICINN - Secretariat of state for research, development and innovation (Ref.: CGL 2011-29205)"Post-invasive evolution of the exotic plant Senecio pterophorus."I conducted all the ecophysiological measurements of gas exchange and photosynthetic performances, plus leaf morphometric analyses, on plants of S.pterophorus with different geographic origins and cultivated in a common garden experiment in the facilities of the Autonomous University of Barcelona. The results were published in Functional Ecology

Bratislava (Slovakia)

Funded by VEGA Grant Agency, Bratislava, Slovakia (Ref.: Grant n. 2/0121/09-11) Study of the impact of drivers of Climate Change on the hydraulic and chemical mechanisms of response of forest tree species.The main scientific results indicate that plants final response to drought stress is mediated by a combination of hydraulic and hormonal regulation. The mechanical response is triggered on the short period and is more quickly reversible, while the chemical one acts on the medium-long term, when water stress tends to chronicize.Results of this research were published in Ecology (Bratislava).In addition to this I gave my contribution to the VEGA project “Island phenomenon of the Carpathians’ high mountains in relation to environmental factors, synecology of plant communities and phytogeography of selected plant species”.The obtained Results were published on Plant Biosystems.
