Description

Research activity focuses on acquiring new knowledge about fungi, seaweeds and plants, which is applied:

  1. In studies on the biodiversity of: fungi, lichens, seaweeds, bryophytes and vascular plants, in the Iberian Peninsula, Mediterranean Sea and other areas.
  2. For the solution of problems related to their Identification, Systematics, Phylogeny, Biogeography and Conservation status.

The research activity is carried out with a multidisciplinary approach from different perspectives developing four lines of research: "Mycology and Lichenology", "Marine Botany", "Bryology" and "Plant ecology".

Goals CT
  • Studies on the biogeography, systematics and diversity of lichens and other Mediterranean fungi. Conservation. Biodeterioration.
  • Studies on the systematics and diversity of benthic seaweeds and marine phanerogams in the western Mediterranean.
  • Studies on the biogeography, systematics, phylogeny and diversity of the bryophyte flora of the Iberian Peninsula. Conservation aspects.
  • Studies of the biogeography, systematics and diversity of the Mediterranean vascular flora. Conservation.
Research lines
  • Bryology

    Study of the bryophyte flora of Mediterranean environments. Biogeography of mosses and liverworts. Systematics and phylogeny of bryophytes. Assessment of the conservation status of bryophyte species.

  • Mycology included Lichenology

    Systematics and identification of lichens (both fungus and lichenised algae) and non-lichenised fungi (including mushroom-forming fungi) of the Mediterranean area, as well as the identification of their secondary metabolism products. Conservation of species and their habitats. Biodeterioration of monuments.

  • Phycology and marine Botany

    Study of the biodiversity, systematics and nomenclature of Mediterranean benthic seaweeds and marine phanerogams. Conservation of species and their habitats.

  • Plant taxonomy and ecology

    Plant ecology (dune vegetation, nitrophilous vegetation, scrubland, forest fires, bioclimatology and biogeography); plant taxonomy (cariology, phenology, phylogeography, nomenclature); conservation biology.
