RESEARCH ACTIVITY
Ecophysiology of the Mediterranean plant species:
Keywords: Chlorophyll fluorescence (direct and modulated fluorescence); gas exchange (net photosynthesis; stomatal conductance; leaf transpiration; leaf respiration); leaf anatomy; leaf morphology (morphological leaf indexes such as LMA, SLA, LDMC) leaf water status (leaf water potential, relative water content); plant functional trait covariation; photosynthetic pigment content; relationship between net photosynthesis and air temperature.
Phenotypic plasticity:
Keywords: Acclimation; adaptation; ecotypes; growth analysis; interspecific and intraspecific variation; local adaptation; leaf phenology; plant functional trait covariation; plasticity indexes.
Structural forest analysis:
Keywords: Carbon sequestration and storage; crown volume; leaf area density (LAD): leaf area index (LAI); plant biomass and productivity; plant density; plant height; plant total basal area; reforestation.
