We are very happy to welcome Laura Barbero Palacios to the TUNDRAsalad team! Laura arrived in Iceland in July, and for the next 12 months she will be working on a systematic review on the effects of herbivore diversity on tundra ecosystems. This project is a joint contribution to TUNDRAsalad and the EU-funded CHARTER project.
Laura completed her degree in Biology at the University of Girona and completed a MSc degree in Terrestrial Ecology and Biodiversity Management at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, under the supervision of HN member Emmanuel Serrano. Laura is interested in the role of herbivores as ecosystem engineers, particularly on their effects on biogeochemical cycles. For her MSc thesis Laura conducted a systematic review aimed at synthesizing the effects of large herbivores on biogeochemical models across terrestrial biomes.
Welcome to the TUNDRAsalad team!
