Research interests and PhD project:

The Ph.D. project aims to arrive at an accurate diagnosis of the main pathogens involved in the deterioration of tree formations, investigate their epidemiology in order to understand the causes and evolution of the phenomenon, and implement mitigation and containment strategies.

The macroscopic objectives of the platform are as follows:

-Spatial and temporal analysis of decline.

-Identification of biotic factors associated with decline.

-Study of the dynamics of decline at the plant and population level.
