Ecology – Alluvial wetlands – Aquatic vegetation – Global changes – Ecological successions – Ecological restoration – Anthropogenic impacts

Presentation

On a global scale, freshwater ecosystems are home to a significant proportion of biodiversity and provide crucial ecosystem services. My thesis aims to study and prioritize the factors, both natural and anthropogenic, that shape freshwater biodiversity. I’m interested in alluvial wetlands, in particular oxbows formed during natural river divagation. I use biodiversity data from aquatic vegetation surveys because of their ability to record environmental changes and their key role in structuring the biocenosis.
