Research interests
Functional seed ecology
How plant regeneration by seed varies at different environmental scales, from macroecological patterns at the biome level, to microhabitat effects at the plot level. How these seed-environment relationships drive the distribution and persistence of plant diversity.
- Fernández-Pascual E, Carta A, Mondoni A, Cavieres L, Rosbakh S, Venn S, Satyanti A, Guja L, Briceño VF, Vandelook F, Mattana E, Saatkamp A, Bu H, Sommerville K, Poschlod P, Liu K, Nicotra A, Jiménez-Alfaro B (2021). The seed germination spectrum of alpine plants: a global meta-analysis. New Phytologist 229, 3573-3586.
Plant responses to global change
How plants acclimatize and adapt to climate change and other global change aspects such as sea level rise and urbanization, with a special focus on (but not limited to) responses in regeneration by seed.
- Fernández-Pascual E, Mattana E, Pritchard HW (2019). Seeds of future past: climate change and the thermal memory of plant reproductive traits. Biological Reviews 94, 439-456.
Soil microclimate
How climate varies at microscales within the soil, and how this variation is driven by factors such as waterlogging or snow cover.
