Luca da Sois

I conducted a BSc and a MSc in Natural Sciences at the University of Padua (2015, 2018) and a PhD in Terrestrial Ecology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2025). I carried on my doctoral thesis at CREAF, supervised by Jordi Martinez Vilalta, Eva Castells Caballé and Maurizio Mencuccini, studying how plants respond to drought with a new conceptual framework that explicitly distinguishes between exposure to stress, functional traits, physiological and metabolomic responses, including primary and specialised metabolism.

Then, I joined the Water and Global Change research unit at CREAF (2025) as a research technician of the Community4Nature project of the Interreg Euro-MED programme, where I work on governance for adaptation to climate change and the conservation and restoration of the natural heritage in the Mediterranean region.
