Imma Oliveras Menor

I am an ecosystem ecologist that explores the vulnerability and resilience of ecosystems to global change. I am interested on how changes in the abiotic conditions – and particularly extreme drought events and modified fire regimes – affect plant form and function, and how this aggregates to diversity and ecosystem functioning. I am particularly passionate about mountainous and tropical environments.
I am Senior Scientist at the Institute of Research for Development (IRD) and AMAP (Botany and Modelling of Plant and Vegetation), Senior Researcher at The Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford, and Permanent Visiting Professor at the Postgraduate Programmes of Environmental Sciences and Ecology and Evolution of University of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT).
