Rossano Bolpagni, PhD
My research primarily falls within the ecology of inland water ecosystems. More specifically, my studies focus on: 1) the eco-physiological mechanisms that regulate the performance and growth rates of hydro-hygrophilous plant species (with special reference to macrophytes); 2) the evaluation procedures of both conservation value and status of aquatic plants and habitats of primary interest for the conservation of biodiversity; 3) the effects of eutrophication and drought stress on aquatic plants and vegetation; 4) systematic, biology and biogeography of macro-algae, with special reference to the Batrachospermales (freshwater red algae); 5) the development and test of remote sensing frameworks for the analysis of spatial and temporal dynamics of hydro-hygrophilous plant communities. The wide experience acquired in the field of the relationships between macrophytes and environment is confirmed by authoring more than 80 scientific papers including 15 scientific publications in ISI journals with Impact Factor. For the Italian Society of Ecology (SItE) I oversaw as Co-Editor the proceedings of the XIX congress of the Society (2009) for the session Macrophyte and Environment. |
