My name is Andreu Cera. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Université Caen-Normandie.
My research aims to understand the ecological strategies of plants and lichens, use these strategies to understand plant and lichen responses to climate, soil features, the impacts of herbivores or fires, and use this knowledge to improve biodiversity conservation practices, restoration and forage production.
