I taught Botany and Environmental Politics at Babes-Bolyai University (Romania), where I worked in various projects related to grasslands ecology. Since my incorporation in CREAF in 2005, I have focused on the study of landscape changes and its effects on biodiversity at European, local and regional levels. I coordinate the project of historical cartography in the province of Barcelona, used as a basic tool for the analysis and modelling of recent landscape changes and its relationships with biodiversity conservation in the region. In the field of invasion ecology, I coordinated the construction of databases of exotic species in European projects. My current research is focused on the assessment and analysis of ecosystem services across various scales. InterestsLandscape ecology, Urban ecology, Invasive species, Ecosystem services.
