Juli G. Pausas

Plant ecology scientist at Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación (CIDE, Valencia, Spain) of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC; the Spanish National Research Council). My research focuses on ecology and evolution of mediterranean vegetation, and specifically on understanding the role of fire in shaping plant species, populations, communities and landscapes. Brief Curriculum Vitae [cv].

Research interest: fire ecology, regeneration ecology, plant functional traits, evolution of fire traits, post-fire regeneration, Mediterranean vegetation, vegetation dynamics and modelling, diversity patterns.
