Research

The study and conservation of endangered species is addressed comprehensively, using both “theoretical” and practical approaches.

These are our main research topics and subtopics:

  • Taxonomy and systematics of critical endemic groups of Italian flora
  • Study of the effects of climate change on high-altitude flora
  • Seed Ecology and Conservation
  • Conservation of plant species at risk of extinction
  • Conservation and sustainable use of landraces and crop wild relatives (CWR)
