BICE - Global change, Biotic Interactions, and plant invasions in Cold Environments (2018-2020)
The ambition of the project is to examine simultaneously causes and consequences of invasive exotic plants under a warming climate. Such an approach linking biotic interactions and global change to plant invasions in dynamic nature is unprecedented, providing crucial information for understanding the future of Alpine biodiversity under different global change scenarios. The project is funded by the University of Padova (STARS grant). OLEO.BEE - Effects of the expansion of mass-flowering crops on wild pollinators (2020-2021)
The project aims to use a species-habitat network approach to examine the effect of the expansion of sunflower cultivation across agricultural landscapes on the specialization of wild pollinators. A second aim is to link insect pollination to multiple parameters of yield quality. The project is funded by the Veneto Region (FSE). T.I.Ge.S.Vi - Innovative soil management in vineyards and impact on biodiversity and soil fertility (2020-2022)
This project aims to identify innovative groundcover management practices to increase soil fertility, the content and stability of organic matter, as well as to promote plant and animal diversity and the consequent biological control of pests. The project is funded by the Veneto Region (PSR). COMPLETED PROJECTS:
-LIBERATION (LInking farmland Biodiversity to Ecosystem seRvices for effective eco-functional intensificATION) (2013-2016)-EU, FP7 -The potential impact of climate change on tree mortality caused by eruptive bark beetles (2012-2013) -Management Tools for Biodiversty Conservation in Alpine Agro-ecosystems (2007-2009) - Cassa di Risparmio Trento e Rovereto |
