Oriol Lluch Oms

I’m biologist from the Universitat de Barcelona (2024), and passionate about
nature and all its biodiversity, specially everything related to flora and vegetation.
I’m currently finishing a MSc in Terrestrial Ecology and Biodiversity Management
at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

I did my BSc thesis in the Grup de Recerca de Geobotànica i Cartografia de la
Vegetació (GEOVEG), focusing on the variability of functional traits in Salix
herbacea L. along a snowmelt gradient. During this period, I also worked as an
intern in the GEOVEG, assisting with various tasks such as measuring functional
traits, data analysis and data digitalization from field surveys.

In the same group, and under the direction of Estela Illa, I am doing my MSc
thesis, centred on the shift in the composition and distribution of snowbed plant
communities along a snowmelt gradient over the past twenty years.

Currently, at CREAF, I am part of the Elemental Diversity and Macroecology
research team, with Marcos Fernández Martínez and
Roger Grau Andrés, as field and lab technician of BRYOELEM project, which
studies the elemental composition of bryophytes and how it can vary depending
on biotic and abiotic conditions.
