The research activity explores ecological processes and interactions at various scales. It uses remote sensing data and spatial ecology to understand how organisms interact with their environment, employing modelling techniques to analyse patterns and predict change, and producing spatially explicit results.
The research includes diverse areas such as: biodiversity analysis at different scales, ecosystems functional properties and traits, environmental pressures on ecosystems, animal behaviour and population dynamics (animal ecology), structure and function of forests (forest ecology).
The integrated approach aims to understand complex ecological systems and to inform conservation and management strategies in the face of environmental challenges and climate change impacts.
