We work with species and communities of plants and animals, approaching studies both from molecular scales and from the entire ecosystem.

Each organism, each community and each ecosystem plays an important role in regulating the energy and nutrient cycles that keep the planet alive.

We analyze the impacts of global change on natural systems, assess their vulnerability and study the capacity for adaptation and mitigation.

Remote sensing and geographic information systems have made it possible to analyze the territory on very large scales and, at the same time, in detail.
