I study the persistence of past land uses, the effects of disturbances, and the effects of management practices,
comparing them with other anthropogenic environmental changes (particularly climate change) on the dynamics,
structure, and biodiversity of forest ecosystems. My research focuses specifically on transitional forest landscapes,
from open habitats to recent forest stages, including fallow lands, across different climatic zones (Mediterranean,
mountainous, and temperate lowlands). My approach adopts a long-term perspective (the last 200 years), operates
at multiple spatial scales (from plants to ecosystems, landscapes, and territories), and integrates historical ecology
methods.
