Martí March Salas

Group Leader

My research mainly focuses on unravelling the evolutionary processes and dynamic biotic and abiotic interactions of plants in the face of climate change and human-induced pressures. I use observational, experimental and quantitative genetic methods, and I draw from approaches in plant evolutionary ecology, functional ecology, biotic Interactions, microbial ecology, global change biology, genetic diversity, and conservation and restoration ecology. The conservation of extreme ecosystems in general, and cliff flora in particular, is a major focus of my research due to their outstanding conservation value, uniqueness, and high diversity of endemic species. My goal is to uncover the threats that can impact the persistence of these species, unravel their ecological dynamics and biotic interactions, and to understand the eco-evolutionary processes occurring within cliff ecosystems.
