Our research interests deal with the systematics, ecology and evolution of vascular plants. The research group operates at different geographical scales, including a global perspective and a special focus on Italian (and Mediterranean) endemics. Our activities also include: plant conservation, Red List assessments and seed banking. Research Topics:
# biodiversity monitoring, biodiversity informati
