The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research and Scientific Policies. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: Research activity focuses on acquiring new knowledge about fungi, seaweeds and plants, which is applied:
In studies on the biodiversity of: fungi, lichens, seaweeds, bryophytes and vascular plants, in the Iberian Peninsula, Mediterranean Sea and other areas.
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".

Scientific-technical goals: - Studies of the biogeography, systematics, and diversity of lichens and other Mediterranean fungi. Conservation. Biodeterioration.
- Studies on the systematics and diversity of benthic algae and marine phanerogams in the western Mediterranean
- Studies of the biogeography, systematics, phylogeny, and diversity of the bryophyte flora of the Iberian Peninsula. Conservation aspects
- Studies of the biogeography, systematics, and diversity of 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.
- 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.
- 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.
